Head shots indicate: 1) The shot was made at close range 2) In a scuffle and a disorganised mob soldiers do not have time to make head shots. 3) The Soldiers were shooting to kill.
That's their significance, and this is outlined in the CNN article as well. Israel stated that their intent was not to kill. Israel stated that they were attacked by a mob, their soldiers were overwhelmed and shot in self defence. If you are shooting in self defence and you are trained you can certainly disable someone, or shoot for the chest if your opposition only has knives, slingshots and ship poles. Head shots are killing shots, and to make them cleanly you need to have skill, and time to aim. the article also mentions that even before boarding the Israelis opened fire on the occupants of these vessels.
