The story, neutrally told

Right · 1Reuters reported that one person was killed near Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and the other in a separate strike nearby. Centre · 1Anadolu, citing medical sources, said a man was killed and another injured in a drone strike on pedestrians near the Municipal Park on Omar Al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City.

Centre · 1Anadolu also reported that a 34-year-old man died of wounds from a strike near the Taiba Towers in Khan Younis on Monday, that a displaced man was shot in his tent in Mawasi, Rafah, and that a girl was moderately injured by gunfire east of the Bureij refugee camp.

Right · 1Israel says Hamas has been rearming and launching attacks in violation of the ceasefire, and has stepped up strikes on the group in recent weeks; Hamas denies this and accuses Israel of undermining the peace deal. Mixed · 2Anadolu cited Gaza's Health Ministry as saying at least 1,460 Palestinians have been killed and 5,116 injured since the ceasefire; Reuters gave a figure of at least 1,400 killed, and said Israel reports four of its soldiers killed by militants in Gaza in that period. Mixed · 2The strikes came a day before the third anniversary of the Hamas-led 7 October attack, which Reuters says killed some 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages being taken; Palestinian figures put the Gaza death toll since October 2023 at more than 74,000.

Right · 1Reuters noted little progress on implementing the US-brokered deal, including terms for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw its troops.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
