Framing
Al Jazeera leads with the toll of at least four dead and names the victims, relaying Anadolu for several incidents.
Emphasis
Named victims and the cumulative death toll.
Leaves out or plays down
No Israeli military response; does not mention ceasefire in the text.
Charged language
“genocidal war”
For example
“Israel has killed more than 74,245 Palestinians since it launched its genocidal war on Gaza” — Al Jazeera

Centre1 outlet

Framing
Anadolu presents a roundup of strikes, shootings and demolitions, attributing nearly everything to medical sources or eyewitnesses; its headline frames the events as ceasefire violations.
Emphasis
The medic's death, casualties among displaced people and teenagers, and demolitions.
Leaves out or plays down
No Israeli military response; the article body does not detail the ceasefire terms.
For example
“Israeli forces kill volunteer medic in Gaza amid ceasefire violations” — Anadolu Agency
