Are you talking about the international organisation which was not Arab at all? Something "Middle East" or another? I posted their "Who we are" page and asked you how you thought that was an Arab source and you never answered...

zonder, are you deliberately being dense? MEMRI publishes translations from the Arab media, fully footnoted. No one, I repeat, no one, has ever accused them of translating inaccurately or falsifying sources. The articles I posted were translations from Arab newspapers. Those are Arab sources.

All you post are Israeli sources and I am asking why no international news agency has picked up on such an important story.

Because they do not cover the conflict in tactical detail, just body counts. Reuters, as I have told you, relies on Palestinian stringers who make no pretense of the objectivity. The Palestinian Journalist Association banned pictures of kids with weapons a few months ago, saying it didn't help the cause. AP and CNN are not much better.

The Western media does run articles on recruitment of children for martyrdom, like the one from the Globe and Mail I posted. These tend to be from a psychological slant rather than a military tactical analysis. Generally speaking, the amount of tactical analysis posted in American papers could fit in a thimble. The Israeli papers are closer to the conflict and are writing for a more knowledgeable audience, since nearly everybody has been in the army.
