• Labels used for one side onlyAre the dead, or the institution they belonged to, filed under a militant affiliation in the outlet's own voice, with no equivalent label on Israeli forces?9.0n=7
• Misleading headlineDoes the headline hide who killed Palestinians, reduce them to a number, leave out deaths the article itself reports, or claim more than the article shows?6.4n=6
• Takes army claims on trustAre military claims that the dead were legitimate targets carried without the verification caveat the article applies to Palestinian sources?Only 2 articles so far.5.0n=2
• Gives one side the spaceWhose voices are quoted or paraphrased, and does one side get materially more space?4.9n=13
• Leaves out the lawHow the article treats international law: war crimes, genocide allegations and legal authority.4.0n=13
• Hides who did the killingWhen Israel kills, is it named as the killer, or does passive voice hide who did it? Violence against Israelis is set aside: hiding Hamas's agency is not the bias this measures.1.7n=3

• Casts doubt on Palestinian sourcesAre Palestinian sources hedged ('Hamas-run ministry says') while Israeli and Western officials are quoted without qualification?Only 2 articles so far.0.0n=2
• Turns the dead into numbersAre Palestinian deaths reported as human lives, with names and stories, or as abstract numbers, and are Israeli victims named while Palestinians are not?0.0n=3
• Hostages and prisoners described differentlyAre Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees described with the same care, or asymmetrically?Not yetn=0
• Misuses the Hamas labelAre 'Hamas-affiliated' labels applied accurately, or used to justify harm to civilians?Not yetn=0
