No, it’s quite common. Planes collide on the ground all the time, at airports all over the world. Normally minor “oops” in ground handling, by the pilots but also can be pushers and such who are ferrying around airplanes. Runway entrance and exits are particularly hazardous and are marked that way.
Not only you need major mistakes by multiple people and systems for two planes to touch while taxing, but two planes colliding even in an apparently minor way is enough to ground the planes for controls.
I imagine there's a good chance that the plane could fly after this, but aviation is (rightfully) risk averse and expect it'll have a pass a full inspection before being cleared for flight again.
If it's just a wingtip Boeing sends a AOG (Airplane On Ground) team to repair it onsite. They remove the wing skin replace any ribs, spars, wiring, lighting, etc, that are damaged, before riveting a new skin over it.
But.. uncommon enough that people should care about it world wide each time it happens? If this happened at my nearest airport, I would expect to see it in the local paper. I definitely wouldn't expect people more than a couple hundred miles away from me to hear about it.
