- 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.

Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Monday, including two young children, according to health officials. A 10 year old girl was reportedly shot in the back while eating in a tent in Khan Younis, and a 4 year old boy was killed in a strike on a building in the Bureij refugee camp. The Israeli military stated it was unaware of the incident involving the 10 year old girl and did not comment on the strike in Bureij.
Additional strikes occurred in Deir Al Balah and the Shati refugee camp. The Israeli military reported that these operations targeted Hamas weapons storage sites, including two located inside mosques. One strike in Deir Al Balah specifically targeted a Hamas militant. Residents and Hamas officials reported that a desalination plant in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City was bombed. An Israeli military spokesperson stated that a strike was carried out adjacent to a desalination facility but denied that the facility itself was targeted.
Reports on the context of the violence vary by political lean. A center leaning source frames the events within the context of a fragile ceasefire and a broader U.S. plan for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. A left leaning source frames the strikes as occurring a week after a U.S. delegation requested that Israel draw down its attacks, emphasizing the plight of displaced residents fleeing the strikes.
