Residents of Hebron, the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank, described the forced displacement of more than 2,000 people since Saturday as collective punishment, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of exploiting the siege for electoral gain.

About this analysis

Haaretz reports that Israeli forces forced more than 2,000 Palestinians from their homes in Hebron. It names the army as the actor in the headline and lets the displaced residents describe what happened in their own words. Most of the captured text is page furniture, and nothing in the reporting that remains misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “Palestinians describe nighttime IDF eviction in Hebron”

    The headline names who carried out the eviction and calls it an eviction, not an evacuation. It also puts Palestinian testimony at the front of the story.

  • “described the forced displacement of more than 2,000 people since Saturday as collective punishment”

    Haaretz calls the removal forced displacement and gives the residents' own description of it as collective punishment, so Palestinians are heard rather than only counted.

  • “exploiting the siege for electoral gain”

    The outlet uses the word siege for the closure of Hebron, which matches what other outlets reported, rather than softening it to a closure or a security measure.
