  • Bias (75%)
    The article contains multiple examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes Hamas by describing them as 'militants' and their actions as an 'assault'. Secondly, the article implies that Israel is innocent in this conflict by stating that Hamas exploited vulnerabilities created by Israel's reliance on technology at the Iron Wall. This is not a neutral statement and it suggests that Israel should have been able to prevent the attack if they had not relied so heavily on technology. Thirdly, the article uses language that demonizes Palestinians as a whole by stating that 'most of Gaza's 2.1 million people were cut off'. This is an exaggeration and it suggests that all Palestinians in Gaza are suffering because of Hamas' actions.

          • Deception (90%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that Israel's war on Gaza has resulted in more than 25,100 killed as attacks continue. However, this statement is not accurate and misleading because it implies that all of these deaths were caused by Israeli attacks when they are actually a result of both Israeli and Palestinian actions during the conflict. Secondly, the article quotes Benjamin Netanyahu saying that full Israeli security control is contrary to a Palestinian state without providing any context or explanation for this statement. This creates an impression that Israel's actions in Gaza are solely responsible for preventing Palestine from achieving its goal of independence when it is not entirely accurate.

              • Deception (90%)
                The article is highly deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Hamas has taken around 250 hostages back to Gaza but fails to mention that Israel also took hundreds of Palestinian militants prisoner during its offensive. This creates a false impression of only one side being responsible for taking prisoners and ignores the fact that both sides have committed human rights abuses. Secondly, the author claims that Hamas positions fighters, tunnels and other militant infrastructure in dense neighborhoods without providing any evidence to support this claim. This is an example of deceptive reporting as there are no sources cited for this information. Thirdly, the article uses sensationalist language such as

              • Fallacies (85%)
                The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Israeli military's figure of 9,000 militants killed without providing evidence. This is a form of logical fallacy because it assumes that the Israeli military's claim is true without any supporting evidence or verification.
                • The article states 'Israel has only managed to rescue one hostage since the war began,' which implies that Israel has not been successful in rescuing other hostages. This statement is misleading because it does not provide context on how many hostages were taken by Hamas and how many have been rescued so far.
                • The article states 'Hamas is believed to be holding the captives in tunnels deep underground and using them as shields for its top leaders.' This statement implies that Hamas has a moral justification for holding onto the hostages. However, this is not true because it does not take into account the fact that these are civilians who were taken against their will.
                • The article states 'Hamas has said it will not free more hostages until Israel ends its offensive.' This statement implies that Hamas' actions are solely based on Israel's actions. However, this is not true because there may be other factors at play that influence Hamas' decisions.
              • Bias (85%)
                The article is biased towards the Palestinian perspective and presents a distorted view of events. The author uses language that dehumanizes Israelis by describing them as 'militants' and portrays Hamas as innocent victims. The article also fails to provide any context for why Hamas launched the attack in the first place, instead focusing solely on Israeli actions.

                  • Israel responded with a blistering three-week air campaign and then a ground invasion into northern Gaza that laid waste to entire neighborhoods.
