Who killed them reuters? Did they just simultaneously spontaneously cease living? Why didn’t you put who killed them in the headline?

The article begins: "Mohammed Abu Al-Qumsan had just picked up birth certificates for his newly-born twins when he found out they had been killed, along with his wife and her mother, by an Israeli strike on the Gaza apartment where they were sheltering."

There's more detail about the attack (tank shell) and a photo of the grieving man.

Sure. But normally a headline tells you who did what. That's the point of a headline.
