Missing from the left

Only 17 of the 64 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

A reader who follows the left would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.

At least two Palestinians were killed and several others injured in two separate Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, health officials reported. In Gaza City, a woman died and her husband and others sustained injuries when a building was struck. Another strike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza resulted in the death of a woman and injuries to others.

The Israeli military confirmed it conducted a strike targeting a militant in Nuseirat. The military did not provide further details on that strike and had no immediate comment on the Gaza City incident. Palestinian authorities state that more than 73,000 people have been killed in Israel's military campaign in Gaza, which began after Hamas-led fighters killed approximately 1,200 people in southern Israel in October 2023.

Disputed figures on post-ceasefire deaths

Health officials in Gaza stated that at least 1,400 Palestinians, predominantly civilians, have been killed in the territory since a ceasefire took effect. The Israeli military reported that four Israeli soldiers have been killed during this period. Both Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.

What the coverage left out

None of the centre or right-rated reports printed below mention the details of the US-brokered ceasefire agreement or the ongoing negotiations regarding Hamas disarming and Israeli troop withdrawal. The reports also do not detail the claims made by Israel and Hamas regarding responsibility for ceasefire violations.

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

17 rated outlets

  • All twelve left‑rated outlets reported that Israeli forces killed Izz al‑Din al‑Beik, describing him as a senior Hamas commander or the head of Hamas’s armed wing in northern Gaza on Tuesday.
  • Several digests added that the strike hit an apartment building in Gaza City or the Nasr neighbourhood, and noted that Israeli or Palestinian civil‑defence officials confirmed the killing; a few linked the commander to the October 7 attack on Israel.
  • Only the Sapo digest mentioned civilian deaths, stating five civilians were killed and that Gaza’s total death toll had passed 76,000; the other eleven digests did not include any civilian casualty figures or broader death‑count information.
