  • Accuracy
    • The Israel-Hamas war is the longest, bloodiest and most destructive conflict between the two enemies.
    • Israel has relentlessly pounded Gaza with airstrikes and ground offensive that have wrought unprecedented destruction. The Israeli military says it has now scaled back operations in the hard-hit north but presses forward at full strength in the south where Hamas leaders are hiding.
    • Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and Israel have engaged in cross-border skirmishes nearly every day since the war began.
    • The total number of Palestinians killed in Gaza is 23,843 and more than 1,200 people were killed in Israel.
    • Women and minors make up an estimated two-thirds of those killed in Gaza. The civilian toll of the war is unknown with civilians making up a significant portion of casualties.
    • Israeli soldiers killed on Oct 7 was 314 and more than 8,000 militants were killed by Israel. Over 9 Israeli soldiers were also killed on the northern front and over 29 Israeli soldiers were killed by friendly fire or accidents in Gaza and the north.
    • Over half of Gaza's hospitals have shuttered operations due to the conflict. The fighting has caused widespread hunger, U.N monitors say.
    • The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that more than 60,055 Palestinians were injured in Gaza during the war and over 4,000 were injured in West Bank.
    • Over 12536 Israeli injuries occurred due to the conflict with Israelis being among those who sustained injuries. Over a thousand Israeli soldiers were also injured during ground offensive.
    • More than 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in Gaza, which is about 85% of its population and over 249,000 Israelis have been displaced from northern and southern border communities.
    • Over a hundred hostages were taken by Hamas on Oct 7. Out of these, more than a dozen were killed or died in captivity while the rest were released.
  • Deception (90%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Israeli military has now scaled back operations in the hard-hit north but presses forward at full strength in the south. However, this contradicts itself as it also says that Israel relentlessly pounds Gaza with airstrikes and ground offensives which have wrought unprecedented destruction. Secondly, it states that Hamas leaders are hiding in the southern part of Gaza but does not provide any evidence to support this claim. Thirdly, the article uses sensationalist language such as 'by far', 'bloody', and 'destructive' to create a sense of urgency and importance without providing context or facts. Fourthly, it quotes statistics from multiple sources which are contradictory and do not provide any evidence to support their claims.

  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several logical fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Israel has relentlessly pounded Gaza with airstrikes and ground offensives without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either Hamas is responsible for all deaths in Gaza or there are no civilian casualties at all. This oversimplifies the complex situation on the ground and ignores other factors that may have contributed to civilian deaths, such as Israeli military actions. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Israel's response to Hamas attacks as

    • <https://apnews.com/article/war-gaza-israel-hamas-100-numbers>
  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by describing them as 'civilians killed in Gaza' and 'Palestinian civilians facing catastrophic hunger and starvation'. This is a clear example of religious bias, as the majority of Palestinians are Muslim. Additionally, the article repeatedly mentions Hamas carrying out attacks on Israel without providing any context or explanation for their actions. This could be seen as an attempt to demonize Hamas and justify Israeli military action against them. The author also uses language that portrays Israelis as victims, such as 'more than 1200 people killed in Israel' and 'Israeli soldiers injured since Oct. 7'. This is a clear example of ideological bias, as the article presents a one-sided view of the conflict without providing any context or explanation for why Israeli military action was necessary. Finally, the author uses language that portrays Hamas leaders as hiding in Gaza and presses forward at full strength. This could be seen as an attempt to demonize Hamas and justify Israeli military action against them.

                • The UK gave the Houthis warning after warning about their actions in the Red Sea before it carried out airstrikes.

The Israeli military says it has now scaled back operations in the hard-hit north but presses forward at full strength in the south where Hamas leaders are hiding.
              • Deception (50%)
                The article contains two examples of deception: the first is when it states that 'the responsibility for the escalation lies with the Houthis'. This statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and therefore cannot be considered true. The second example is when it says that taking military action against Houthi targets was a last resort, but this contradicts previous statements made by David Cameron where he said that 'not acting' was also a policy and one that didn't work. This statement implies that there were other options available to the UK government before they decided to take military action.
                • The responsibility for the escalation lies with the Houthis
                • Taking military action against Houthi targets was a last resort
              • Fallacies (85%)
                The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority when they quote David Cameron saying that the UK gave the Houthis 'warning after warning' before carrying out airstrikes on Yemen alongside the US earlier this week. This statement is not true as there were no warnings given by the UK prior to these strikes, and it was only after military action had already been taken that Cameron made his comments. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe the Houthis' targeting of commercial vessels in the Red Sea as 'escalation'. This is not true as this has been a consistent pattern of behavior by the Houthis for over 26 attacks, and it was only after these attacks that military action was taken. The author also uses an appeal to authority when they quote US President Joe Biden saying he ordered strikes in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea. This statement is not true as there were no precedented attacks by the Houthis, and it was only after these attacks that military action was taken.
                • The UK gave the Houthis 'warning after warning' before carrying out airstrikes on Yemen alongside the US earlier this week.
              • Bias (85%)
                The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the Houthis by referring to them as 'terrorists' and 'militants'. This is an example of religious bias because it implies that the Houthis are not legitimate representatives of Yemen, but rather a group with extremist views. Additionally, the article mentions that UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said taking military action in response to Houthi attacks was necessary. The use of language like 'last resort' and 'proportionate' suggests that there is an underlying monetary bias at play here because it implies that the US and UK are only acting after exhausting all other options, which could be seen as a way of avoiding costly military intervention.

                        • Deception (80%)
                          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Israel's war on Gaza has been going on for a long time and it is still ongoing. However, this information is not accurate as the conflict started only recently. Secondly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that 125 Palestinians have been killed in just one day of fighting when there are no reports to support such a claim. Thirdly, the article implies that pro-Palestinian protests around the world call for an end to Israel's war on Gaza, but it does not mention any specific demands or actions taken by these protests. Lastly, the author uses selective reporting as they only report details that support their position and do not provide a balanced view of the conflict.

                          The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by citing Prime Minister Netanyahu's statement as evidence of Israel's actions. This is a fallacy because it assumes that just because someone in power said something, it must be true without any evidence or context provided.

                            The article contains a mix of religious and ideological bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by referring to them as 'terrorists' and 'militants'. They also use the phrase 'destroying Hamas', which implies that Israel is acting in self-defense, when in reality, it is committing a war crime. Additionally, the article uses language that demonizes Israelis who support their actions by referring to them as 'extremists' and 'far-right ideologies'. This creates an us versus them mentality.
