- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a series of strikes in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, following an evacuation order for the village of Al-Mansouri. The IDF stated that the precise strikes were a response to flagrant ceasefire violations by Hezbollah. This marks the first evacuation warning issued by Israel in the region since June.
Lebanese state media reported that one person was killed and 11 others were wounded when an Israeli missile hit a prayer room in the cemetery of Tibnine. The attacks occurred while Israeli and Lebanese delegations were meeting in Rome for a second day of U.S. mediated talks. These negotiations focus on the implementation of a plan involving Hezbollah disarmament, the deployment of the Lebanese military, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from pilot zones in the south.
Outlets with a center-right lean emphasized the precision of the strikes and the necessity of the IDF response to protect security. In contrast, outlets with a center-left lean highlighted the civilian casualties and the specific targeting of a prayer room.
