- 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 forces launched strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon on Friday after the Israeli military intercepted a Hezbollah drone targeting soldiers in a security buffer zone. Lebanese authorities report that at least three people were killed and over 20 others were injured in the strikes. Specifically, reports indicate two young men died in the city of Nabatieh and one person died with 15 others injured near the village of Rmadiyeh. The Israeli military stated that no soldiers were wounded in the drone attack. The IDF described the drone launch as a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement. In a separate development, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the IDF cleared Hezbollah terrorists from the Ali al-Taher ridge tunnels. This follows a warning from Iran that it would respond to attacks on that strategic complex and a counter warning from Katz that any Iranian attack would lead Israel to destroy Iranian national and military infrastructure.
