The past participle of a verb is used as the passive participle (e.g. indicates the passive voice, where the patient of the verb is the subject and the agent is the indirect object). "She was killed" or "He was eaten" is in the passive voice, while "I died" or "I killed" is in the active voice. It's normally supposed to be preceded by an auxiliary verb (in this case "be"), but news titles omit the copula among other things.
This is literally the passive voice
Active voice would be "Israeli strike kills two twins in Gaza as [their] father goes to register [their] birth" or something

What the fuck
Which person decided to domesticate that thing. Just like "hey I found this weird looking grass fruit wanna enslave it" and chief's like "hell yeah of course I wanna enslave it!" and then they just ate increasingly beady grass for a few thousand years
Shhh shhh no we have to make the peasants believe every exploitable activity is an intelligent sidehustle. THEIR idea. Not something that will be forced upon them by capitalism. How do you think we create like half of professions ever?
What in the hell is a "Caramel Ribbon Cursetard"
What do you mean women don't like a FOSS privacy-oriented user experience? Don't they like going through 500 pages of documentation when Gentoo breaks only to realize all along that the problem was fixed by turning the computer off and on again?
What do you mean men don't like that either?? What kind of place is this?!
How have scientists not figured out interstellar travel yet??? It's really right in front of us!
It was only a jest. Blowing up a factory would be, you know, bad. If people were in it.
