In several strikes throughout the Gaza Strip over the past week, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) eliminated more than 10 terrorists who advanced terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and operated to restore the capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. According to a joint IDF and Shin Bet announcement, among the terrorists eliminated were: Muhammad Ata Zaki Kishawi, a Nukhba terrorist in Hamas’ military wing.
The terrorist infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7th Massacre. Hamas terrorists eliminated in past week IDF Spokesperson's Unit Also eliminated was terrorist Ali Na’im Aish Abu Asei, an operative in the Saif al-Islam faction who took part in manufacturing weapons as part of a workshop that the IDF and Shin Bet dismantled.

Arutz Sheva turns a joint IOF and Shin Bet announcement into its own account. It writes the killings out as "eliminated", calls the dead men terrorists in its own voice on the army's word alone, and states the army's claims about October 7 and ceasefire violations as fact, including in the headline.
Writes the death out
Severe
“eliminated”
Why this matters
The lead sentence repeats "eliminated" in the outlet's own voice to describe what the strikes did.
The impression it gives
The opening paragraph, which most readers stop at, never tells them anyone died.
The context
The same event is reported elsewhere as killing: "Among those killed was Muhammad Ata Zaki Kishawi".
Israeli occupation forces and the Shin Bet killed more than 10 people in strikes across Gaza over the past week, the army said.
Labels people on one side's word
Severe
“more than 10 terrorists”
Why this matters
The outlet calls all the dead "terrorists" in its own voice, with no attribution in the sentence.
The impression it gives
Every person killed is established as a terrorist.
The context
The only basis the article gives for who these men were is the army's own statement, which S2 attributes: "According to a joint IDF and Shin Bet announcement". No independent source is offered.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“According to a joint IDF and Shin Bet announcement”
“who advanced terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and operated to restore the capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization, in systematic violation of the ceasefire”
Why this matters
The outlet states the army's justification for the strikes as its own finding, with no attribution.
The impression it gives
It is established that every person killed was planning attacks and breaking the ceasefire.
The context
This is the wording of the army and Shin Bet statement. The Jerusalem Post prints it as a quotation from that statement.
