Israel National News reports that Israeli occupation forces killed two people who crossed the Gaza 'yellow line', but never once says they were killed, shot or dead, writing the deaths out as 'eliminated' and 'threats' removed. It calls both people terrorists in its own voice, with the IOF spokesperson as its only source, and never names them, says they were Palestinian or gives any sign they were armed.
Writes the death out
Severe
“eliminates”
Why this matters
The headline uses 'eliminates' for two killings by Israeli occupation forces.
The impression it gives
A reader takes in a clean military result, not two people shot dead.
The context
Two people were killed. The outlet itself writes 'killed' when reporting earlier strikes, so the softer word is a choice.
The standfirst turns the two people into 'threats' and their killing into the removal of a threat, in the outlet's own voice.
The impression it gives
A reader believes a danger was neutralised, not that two human beings were killed for crossing a line.
The context
The article describes nothing either person did except cross the yellow line. Calling them 'threats' is the IOF's word, and the killings are never named as killings.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“identified two terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line”
The outlet labels the two people terrorists because they crossed a line, in its own voice.
The impression it gives
A reader believes crossing the line proves the people were terrorists.
The context
The article offers nothing else about who they were. It never says they were Palestinian, never names them and never says they carried a weapon. The label rests on the army's word alone.
The Israeli military said its troops killed two people it described as terrorists after they crossed the 'yellow line'; it gave no names and no evidence that they were armed.
