The article reports on Israeli strikes that killed and wounded Palestinians in tent camps outside Gaza's southern city of Rafah. The author does not express any bias towards either side but the language used to describe the events leans more towards condemning Israel for the attacks. For example, 'Israeli forces shelled tent camps for displaced Palestinians outside Gaza’s southern city of Rafah on Friday, killing at least 25 people and wounding another 50'. The article also mentions that these attacks come less than a month after an Israeli bombing triggered a deadly fire in a camp for displaced Palestinians, which drew widespread international outrage. The author also quotes witnesses who say Israeli forces fired volleys that killed people who came out of their tents and condemns the firing of 'high-caliber projectiles' near a Red Cross field hospital. These statements could be perceived as biased against Israel but they are not explicit expressions of bias by the author.

The International Committee of the Red Cross said the hospital was flooded with casualties, including 22 dead and 45 wounded, and condemned the firing of ‘high-caliber projectiles’ a few meters (yards) from the facility

IDF soldiers are operating in Rafah, Gaza Strip, and the defeat of the Hamas brigade in the city is imminent.
Hamas has a more extensive and developed tunnel system in Rafah than anywhere else in Gaza.
The entire border between Gaza and Egypt is studded with smuggling tunnels that are connected to rocket launch pits, command tunnels inside the city, and attack tunnels towards Israel.
Most of the tunnels have several levels and go down to a depth of 30 meters, allowing Hamas to conduct a defensive battle that is mostly underground.
Two of the Hamas battalions in Rafah are close to surrender and there are about 5,000 defectors from among the ranks of Hamas all over the Strip.
After Israel completes the encirclement of Gaza and dismantles Hamas’ weapons production capabilities, its ability to replenish ammunition stock is cut off.
The IDF is looking for a middle way: focusing on Hezbollah’s military capabilities and leaving the campaign as an army against an army, sparing civilian areas.
Many senior officials in the IDF believe that a settlement achieved after a war that erodes Hezbollah’s capabilities would be better than today’s settlement, but they are unsure if the gain from such a settlement justifies the cost to Israeli society.
Accuracy
The IDF's progress in Rafah is faster than expected as most of the 1.4 million people who were in the city have left.

The author expresses a clear bias against Prime Minister Netanyahu throughout the article. He uses derogatory language such as 'Netanyahu vs the IDF' and 'Netanyahu's downward spiral toward total defeat'. The author also implies that Netanyahu is prioritizing his own interests over those of the people of Israel and the IDF, by focusing on appointing local rabbis and ensuring evasion of ultra-Orthodox from service instead of dealing with strategic issues. This bias is not based on any facts or evidence provided in the article, but rather on the author's personal opinion.
If they mature and grow, it may be possible to stop Netanyahu’s downward spiral toward total defeat.
The first enemy is the IDF and its commanders, whom the Prime Minister wants to subdue even before Rafah.
