Just because the secular Hebrew-language news media report such disheartening news, doesn’t mean that YWN has to follow suit. Nothing good has happened in Eretz Yisrael over Shabbos? Every Sunday it’s more or less the same: fires, stabbings, traffic accidents, etc. At least you ought to make clear that nearly all of these misfortunes are not befalling Israelis who are sitting around their tables enjoying cholent, kugel, singing zmiros Shabbos. Whereas I wouldn’t expect the secular Israeli media to do so, I would imagine Yeshiva World should.
