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 Palestinian residents of Hebron describe a nighttime eviction by Israeli occupation forces, with more than 2,000 people forcibly displaced since Saturday, and that residents call it collective punishment. The available text is only the headline and the lead sentence, and nothing in them misleads. The outlet names the forces that carried out the eviction and calls the removal forced displacement.

What it gets right

  • “Palestinians describe nighttime IDF eviction in Hebron”

    The headline names the actor behind the eviction and puts Palestinian accounts at the centre, rather than writing the removal as an evacuation with no one doing it.

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

    Haaretz calls the removal forced displacement, gives the scale, and attributes the collective punishment charge to the residents, which matches the Hebron governor's account in other coverage.

  • “Hebron, the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank”

    The outlet identifies the city and its people as Palestinian, and refers to the operation as a siege rather than a security operation.
