Left out here: Leaves out what changes the picture
The article never says the strike killed anyone. Gaza's health ministry and civil defence reported at least six dead, including surgeon Rizk Abu Sharia, and more than 20 wounded after the strike hit the surgery department. Without this, a reader believes the strike on a hospital hit only Hamas members and harmed no patients or staff.

DW reported that the Israeli military made its claim that Hamas was operating inside Nasser Hospital without providing evidence. The article sets out the claim at length but never notes this, so a reader may take it as substantiated.
We do not republish articles from The Jewish Chronicle. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Jewish Chronicle reports an Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital almost entirely through the IOF's account. In its own voice it calls the people struck Hamas operatives, its headline calls them Hamas terrorists, and the headline says Israel 'eliminates' them though the body says the main target's fate is unclear. The article never tells its reader that the strike killed at least six people, including surgeon Rizk Abu Sharia, according to Gaza's health ministry.

“struck Hamas operatives inside a hospital”
Why this matters
In its own voice, The Jewish Chronicle says the people Israeli forces struck were "Hamas operatives". Its only basis is the IOF's statement, which the next sentence attributes.
The impression it gives
The reader believes the strike hit only Hamas fighters inside the hospital.
The context
Gaza's health ministry and civil defence reported that the strike hit the surgery department and killed at least six people, including surgeon Rizk Abu Sharia. Press TV's reporter in Khan Younis said the dead included patients, medical staff and a child. Who was hit is the IOF's claim, not an established fact.
An Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed at least six people, including surgeon Rizk Abu Sharia, according to Gaza's health ministry. The Israeli military said it was targeting a Hamas commander and fighters it said were operating inside.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“eliminates”
Why this matters
The headline says Israel "eliminates" the men it targeted.
The impression it gives
The reader believes the targets were killed.
The context
The body says the main target's fate "remains unclear" and that the military did not confirm whether he was killed. The closest words in the article are the military's statement that the operation was "intended to eliminate the threat", which is an aim, not an outcome.
