Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it reports that the bodies of a missing child and two paramedics were found after they had been shelled by Israeli forces while trying to rescue them. However, this information was not confirmed by any official sources or eyewitnesses. The PCRS only stated that they had lost contact with Hind Rajab and her family for 12 days before she was found dead, but there is no evidence to support the claim that Israelis were responsible for shelling the ambulance crew. Secondly, the article reports on a statement made by Amnesty International condemning Israel's plans to remove civilians from combat zones in Rafah ahead of what Netanyahu called a 'massive operation'. However, this information is not relevant to the main story and serves as an attempt to distract readers from the actual events happening in Gaza. Lastly, the article reports on Moody's downgrading Israel's credit rating due to concerns about the war with Hamas becoming a long-term economic burden. However, this information is not directly related to the main story and serves as an attempt to distract readers from the actual events happening in Gaza.
Amnesty International's statement condemning Israel's plans to remove civilians from combat zones in Rafah ahead of a 'massive operation' is not directly related to the main story and serves as an attempt to distract readers.
The article reports that Hind Rajab was found dead after losing contact with rescue workers for 12 days, but there is no evidence to support this claim.
Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Palestine Red Crescent Society as a source for information about the missing child and the deaths of paramedics. This is problematic because it assumes that this organization is reliable without providing any evidence or context for their claims.
The body of Hind Rajab, who was found dead after being lost in Gaza City since January 29th, has been confirmed by the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
Rana Faqih, a PCRS worker who stayed on the phone with Hind as she begged for rescue for hours on January 29th, confirmed that she had been found dead.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains multiple examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes Israel by accusing them of directly targeting an ambulance crew and killing two paramedics while trying to rescue a child. This is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and is likely intended to inflame emotions rather than provide factual information. Secondly, the author quotes Amnesty International condemning Israel's plans to remove civilians from combat zones as potentially amounting to forcible transfer, without providing any context or counter-argument. This implies that Israel is acting unjustly and ignores the potential reasons behind their actions. Finally, the article presents a one-sided view of events in Gaza by only including quotes from Palestinian sources and ignoring Israeli perspectives.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Israel's war on Gaza is ongoing and live when it has been going on for six years. Secondly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that a six-year-old girl was found dead along with two medics who were sent to look for her after their car came under Israeli fire. This statement implies that Israel is responsible for the death of these individuals which may not be entirely accurate as there are multiple sides to this conflict and it's important to consider all perspectives before making a conclusion.

Bias
(75%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by referring to them as 'Hind Rajab' which is a name given to the girl who was killed in the war on Gaza. This implies that she is not an individual with her own identity, but rather just another victim of Israel's actions. Additionally, the article mentions that Hind Rajab went missing after her family's car came under Israeli fire and was later found dead along with two medics sent to look for her. The use of language like 'missing' and 'found dead' implies a sense of tragedy and loss, which is likely intended to elicit sympathy from readers. This type of emotional appeal can be seen as an attempt to manipulate the reader's opinion rather than presenting facts in a neutral manner.
