Yah that was never on their front pages or on their apps, probably hidden on an archival web page. I looked everywhere. Only found the story in a few places on Feb 28, the day it happened.
This is how they hide stories.

It was on the BBC front page by March 2nd, two days after it happened, probably less than 48 hours.

The NYT had coverage the day of.
You can see it on the front page in their "Live" coverage at the time:
I do think it was probably relatively underplayed in Western press, you can eg see it on the front page day-of pretty prominently on Al Jazeera:

But the western press dragging their feet at covering victims of America's foreign wars is not down to being pro-Israel, no.
It took several days for the big news media to even acknowledge that an elementary school was bombed by the US & Israel. You would only have known about it if you followed anti-Israel social media accounts.
