Israeli forces are violating the agreement to end the war and cease fire, signed with Arab and American mediation in the Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheikh on October 10, 2025, causing further suffering for citizens in the Gaza Strip. At dawn today, Monday, two martyrs arrived at Nasser Medical Complex, one of them due to a gunshot wound and the other as a result of an Israeli drone strike south of Khan Younis Mawasi, south of the Gaza Strip.

In this context, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today, Monday, the registration of 11 martyrs and 35 injuries in the Gaza Strip, noting that they arrived at Gaza hospitals during the past 24 hours, including 8 new martyrs and 3 retrieval cases. The Ministry of Health explained in its daily statistical report that the toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025, has reached 1,559 martyrs, 5,608 injuries, and 845 retrieval cases.

The Ministry of Health revealed that the cumulative toll since the beginning of the crime of genocide in Gaza on the seventh of October 2023, has risen to 74,555 martyrs and 175,727 injuries, in a toll that is likely to rise with the continuation of retrieval operations. Israeli occupation forces continue, for the 382nd consecutive day, to violate the ceasefire agreement and the fragile calm in the Gaza Strip, by committing new violations and attacks daily in various areas of the Strip, coinciding with the continuation and tightening of the siege.

What we found (1)

Press TV reports the Gaza Health Ministry's daily toll, names Israeli occupation forces as responsible, gives the drone strike its actor and calls the genocide by its name. Its headline gives 25 injuries where the body reports the ministry's figure as 35, understating the harm its own source recorded.

  1. Uses figures that mislead

    Minor

    “25 injuries”

    Why this matters
    The headline gives the number of injured as 25.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes the ministry recorded 25 injuries in the past day.
    The context
    The article's own body reports the ministry's figure as 35 injuries, so the headline understates the harm its own source recorded.

    How we know

    • Elsewhere in the article“the registration of 11 martyrs and 35 injuries in the Gaza Strip”

    Show it in the article

What it gets right

  • “the crime of genocide in Gaza”

    It names Israel's genocide in Gaza as fact, in line with the UN Commission of Inquiry's finding, rather than as an allegation.

  • “as a result of an Israeli drone strike south of Khan Younis Mawasi”

    It names who carried out the strike that killed this person rather than leaving the death without an actor.

  • “the toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression since the ceasefire”

    It attributes the post-ceasefire deaths to Israel, and its figure matches what Haaretz reported for the same period.
