Full Analysis Summary

Deadly strikes during Gaza truce

Israeli forces killed Palestinians in Gaza as a truce moved into its next stage, with reports indicating multiple deadly strikes across the Strip.

Anadolu Ajansı reported the Israeli military said it killed three Palestinians in eastern Rafah after Unit 414 detected eight people exiting underground infrastructure there.

The air force struck the group and the army said it later targeted areas where the others tried to flee, and it is still assessing results while continuing searches.

Al Jazeera reported that early Friday Israeli aircraft struck a gathering in Al-Maghazi camp in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and wounding others.

Al Jazeera also reported that two separate Israeli attacks on Thursday killed three Palestinians and wounded others.

Both outlets attribute direct lethal action to Israeli military forces during the truce period.

Coverage Differences

Narrative focus

Anadolu Ajansı (West Asian) emphasizes an Israeli military account describing Unit 414 detecting people exiting underground infrastructure and an air force strike with ongoing assessments, while Al Jazeera (West Asian) emphasizes strikes on civilian gatherings and multiple reported deaths across different days. Anadolu foregrounds the Israeli operational description; Al Jazeera foregrounds local medical and witness accounts of civilian deaths.

Israeli strikes in Gaza

Anadolu reports Israeli forces carried out an airstrike after Unit 414 detected people exiting Rafah's tunnel network.

It says the army and air force struck and later chased others who tried to flee, and that forces were still assessing results while continuing searches.

Al Jazeera includes the Israeli army's statement that it targeted a Hamas member in the southern Strip who was allegedly planning an attack, and also reports intensive firing, demolitions and shelling across Rafah and Khan Younis.

The two sources present complementary operational claims, with Anadolu highlighting a specific detection-and-strike narrative and Al Jazeera noting both the targeted strike claim and witness reports of broad attacks affecting civilians.

Coverage Differences

Attribution of targets

Anadolu Ajansı (West Asian) relays an Israeli account that frames the action as striking people exiting "underground infrastructure" detected by Unit 414, implying a militant-related target. Al Jazeera (West Asian) reports the army’s claim about targeting an "alleged" Hamas member but pairs that with local accounts of demolitions, shelling and civilian harm, showing a broader impact on residential areas. Each source distinguishes between Israeli statements and local/witness reports.

Ceasefire violations and casualties

Witnesses and medical sources reported civilians killed in areas they say Israeli forces had previously left under the ceasefire.

Anadolu relays witnesses who reported an Israeli drone strike on a civilian gathering near the Abu Namous roundabout east of Maghazi that killed two men in an area Israeli forces had reportedly left under the ceasefire.

Al Jazeera cites Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for deaths and injuries from strikes in Al-Maghazi and other sites.

Anadolu compiles an organizer-reported tally saying near-daily Israeli violations since the ceasefire have killed 492 Palestinians and wounded 1,356, underscoring sustained civilian tolls the outlets attribute to Israeli actions.

Coverage Differences

Casualty accounting and framing

Anadolu Ajansı (West Asian) provides an aggregated count of casualties since the ceasefire and emphasizes "near-daily Israeli violations," reporting organizer figures of "492 Palestinians" killed and "1,356" wounded. Al Jazeera (West Asian) focuses on location-specific medical reports (Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital) and immediate descriptions of strikes and demolitions, without presenting the same aggregated tally in the excerpt provided. Anadolu foregrounds cumulative impact; Al Jazeera foregrounds immediate on-the-ground casualties and witness testimony.

Rafah tunnel uncertainty

Both sources report continued uncertainty over people in Rafah's tunnel network and the status of those inside.

Anadolu says the fate of Palestinians and militants trapped in Rafah's tunnel network remains unresolved and reports that Hamas said late in 2025 it had sought to negotiate a safe exit for about 200 Qassam Brigades fighters from a Rafah tunnel but received no Israeli response.

Anadolu also notes that Hamas had not commented on the Israeli account of Friday's strike.

Al Jazeera documents local claims of demolition and shelling and the Israeli statement that the incident was a targeted strike, but it does not resolve the status of those in the tunnels.

The reporting collectively shows that Israeli strikes and ground operations continue amid unresolved humanitarian and tactical questions about trapped fighters and civilians.

Coverage Differences

Unresolved status and reported negotiations

Anadolu Ajansı (West Asian) reports that Hamas said it sought to negotiate the safe exit of about 200 Qassam Brigades fighters from Rafah tunnels and received no Israeli response, emphasizing an outstanding negotiation and unresolved fate. Al Jazeera (West Asian) reports local and medical accounts of strikes, demolitions and shelling without the negotiation detail in the excerpt provided. Anadolu supplies negotiation context; Al Jazeera supplies granular incident reporting.

Media reports on Gaza strikes

Reporting from both outlets makes clear Israeli forces are continuing strikes, demolitions and vehicle-fired attacks in Gaza even as the truce enters a new phase, and that civilians have been killed and wounded in those operations.

Anadolu compiles cumulative violation and casualty figures and relays a formal Israeli operational account involving Unit 414.

Al Jazeera emphasizes hospital and witness accounts of strikes on gatherings and demolition of homes in Rafah and elsewhere.

Significant ambiguity remains about the exact circumstances of each killing and the fate of people inside Rafah tunnels, and both outlets attribute actions to Israel and to Israeli military statements or witness testimony rather than asserting uncontested facts in all cases.

Coverage Differences

Tone and emphasis

Anadolu Ajansı (West Asian) emphasizes aggregate casualty tolls and the official Israeli operational narrative (Unit 414, air force strike, assessment), while Al Jazeera (West Asian) emphasizes local medical sources, witness accounts of strikes on civilian gatherings, and demolition of residential buildings. Both attribute actions directly to Israeli forces, but Anadolu frames the incidents with counts and procedural descriptions; Al Jazeera foregrounds immediate civilian impact and geographic details.
