    To report something is to make a finding. You may have an interesting definition of report, but the common usage is about findings. The UN did not make a finding that Israel committed a mass killing. The implication of the title is the UN made a determination which it did not do.

    The UN is calling on Israel to investigate an allegation but it did not make a finding.

      Which would be fine if you were more honest about it. Have a nice day.
