Framing Bias

Dominant framing centers on Israeli military actions as legitimate responses to Hamas violations. Headlines emphasize Idf strikes on 'terror operatives' (5), 'terror targets' (7), and Hamas using civilian infrastructure (8), while Palestinian casualties are reported passively by 'rescuers' (6, 9).

Key Findings

• -92% of coverage is in English, with only 5% in Arabic despite the event's location.
• -Security domain dominates (92% of titles), with minimal coverage of governance (3%) or foreign policy (5%).
• -Top actors are overwhelmingly Israeli state institutions (Il Armed Forces 77, Il Law Enforcement 12) versus Hamas (8).
• -Entity mapping shows 134 mentions of Palestinian territories (PS) versus 88 of Israel (IL), but actor focus is reversed.

Blind Spots

• ?Palestinian civilian perspective
• ?Regional Arab state reactions
• ?International diplomatic efforts beyond US

Missing Perspectives

• ?What is the humanitarian impact of the strikes beyond casualty counts?
• ?How are ceasefire violations being verified and by whom?
• ?What are the political divisions within Israel regarding the strategy?
• ?What alternative solutions are being proposed by Palestinian or international actors?

Follow the Gain

The Israeli state and military benefit, as the framing legitimizes their operations as defensive responses to ceasefire violations, centers their narrative of Hamas using civilian infrastructure, and marginalizes competing perspectives.
