- Framing
- The Jerusalem Post ran a brief item relaying the military's report of an attempted ramming with no injuries. Arab News carried AFP's fuller account, which leads with the killing and gives both Israeli military and Palestinian authority versions.

- Leaves out or plays down
- The Jerusalem Post item does not mention any Palestinian casualties. The Arab News copy does not include further detail on the circumstances beyond the military statement.
