Deception
(0%)
The article contains several instances of deception. Firstly, the author uses emotional manipulation by describing the scene of destruction in al-Shati as 'substantial' and 'significant', implying that it is much worse than it may actually be. He also uses sensationalism by stating that 'Dozens of Palestinians have been killed' without providing an exact number or context, which could potentially mislead readers. Additionally, the author selectively reports details by only mentioning the deaths caused by Israeli airstrikes and not mentioning any potential causalities on the Israeli side. Lastly, there is a lack of disclosure regarding sources for some statements made in the article.
The scene of destruction in al-Shati is substantial and significant.
Residents said Israeli tanks deepened their incursion into western and northern Rafah areas in recent days. On Saturday, Israeli forces bombed several areas from air and the ground, forcing many families living in areas described as humanitarian-designated zones to leave northwards.

Fallacies
(85%)
The author makes several statements that contain potential fallacies. One such statement is 'Hamas did not comment on the Israeli claim to have hit its military infrastructure. It said the attacks targeted the civilian population and vowed in a statement that “the occupation and its Nazi leaders will pay the price for their violations against our people”.' This statement contains an appeal to emotion, as Hamas's statement is intended to elicit an emotional response from readers. Another potential fallacy is found in the author's description of Israel's actions as a 'ground and air campaign in Gaza was triggered when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and seizing more than 250 hostages.' This statement contains an inflammatory rhetoric as it uses the term 'militants' to describe Hamas members and exaggerates the number of deaths caused by their actions. Additionally, there are several instances of dichotomous depiction in the article, such as 'the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement it had struck Hamas “military infrastructure sites”' and 'Hamas did not comment on the Israeli claim to have hit its military infrastructure. It said the attacks targeted the civilian population.' These statements present a false dichotomy between military targets and civilian populations, implying that they cannot coexist.

Bias
(95%)
The article reports on Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City and the resulting casualties. The authors do not explicitly state their position or bias towards the situation, but they do provide information about Hamas's use of urban areas for military infrastructure and civilian protection. This could be seen as implicitly critical of Hamas's tactics, which could potentially skew the readers' perception towards a negative view of Hamas. Additionally, the authors mention that it was unclear what or whom the Israeli airstrikes had targeted, but they do provide information about Hamas leaders that Israel has been seeking to assassinate. This could be seen as providing context for why Israel might be conducting these strikes, but it also implies that Hamas leaders are legitimate targets. Overall, while the authors do not explicitly express bias in their reporting, the way they frame the information could potentially sway readers towards a negative view of Hamas.

The article contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to emotion. The author describes the suffering of Palestinians in detail, using phrases like 'repeated strikes on humanitarian zones', 'people screaming, people on fire', and 'lives of civilians and humanitarians at risk'.
