Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one global scale.

Israeli forces shot and wounded at least one Palestinian and arrested several others on Friday as more than 100 Israeli settlers marched toward the village of Tal in the West Bank. The march occurred in memory of two Israelis killed the previous week in a deadly gunfight that also left four Palestinians dead. During the event, some settlers vandalized a Palestinian cemetery and stole goods from a building. The Israeli military stated it was present to disperse and evacuate the settlers, though residents and a Reuters correspondent reported that soldiers did not intervene during the vandalism and theft, and in some cases blocked roads to assist the marchers.
Outlets with a center lean focused on the military's role in the clash and the context of the previous week's violence. A center left outlet focused primarily on the vandalism of the cemetery. A center right outlet provided a detailed account of the military crackdown and the reported inaction of soldiers during settler attacks. The Israeli military denied allegations that settlers operate with impunity through their cooperation, while Palestinian residents described the military actions as a form of punishment and intimidation.
