What I generally got from their policy is that, while it qualifies objectively as terrorism, they do not decide that internally. They communicate the label as assigned by governments and other authorities. It's a very reasoned policy as journalists can quickly become editorialists if they start inserting their own conclusions.

I don't think the opinion that the Hamas attack was an act of terror has been obfuscated at all.
