Left out here: Leaves out what changes the picture
The article never says the strike took place under the ceasefire, although the same outlet reported that day that the ceasefire is in force. Its only signals are the war label "Swords of Iron" and "beyond the Yellow Line". Without that fact a reader takes this for routine combat in an active war, not an Israeli air strike carried out during a declared ceasefire.

Israel National News retells an Israeli military strike in Khan Yunis entirely in the army's terms. In its own voice it calls the three people struck "terrorists", never says whether they were killed, and states the army's reading of secondary explosions as fact. It also leaves out that the strike took place under a ceasefire its own reporting that day described.
Labels people on one side's word
Serious
“IDF troops identified three terrorists emerging from a tunnel shaft”
Why this matters
The outlet turns the soldiers' identification into fact. The people are "terrorists" because troops "identified" them, and nothing independent is offered.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the identity of the three was verified before the strike.
The context
The only basis is the army's own claim that its troops identified them. No name, affiliation or independent confirmation appears anywhere in the article.
The outlet writes the result of an air strike on three people as "hits" that "were identified", a targeting phrase with no word for killing or death in it.
The impression it gives
A reader learns that a weapon found its target but not that people were killed or wounded, or how many.
The context
The article describes an aircraft striking three people. Nowhere does it say whether anyone was killed, injured or died.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“an aircraft struck the shaft and the terrorists”
