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 in southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people between Sunday and Monday, according to reports from the Lebanese Health Ministry and state media. The deadliest strikes occurred in the town of Kfar Rumman, where a residential building was destroyed. Reports on the death toll vary by source, with some citing 9, 11, or 12 fatalities. Among the dead were children and at least one rescuer. The Lebanese National News Agency reported that two infants were killed in the strike on the residential building and two paramedics were killed when a drone hit a civilian vehicle.

The Israeli military stated that the strikes were a response to two explosive drones launched by Hezbollah against Israeli troops operating near the Ali al-Taher ridge. The Israel Defense Forces said they targeted Hezbollah infrastructure and individuals transferring weapons. While Israel claimed to have taken measures to mitigate civilian harm, Lebanese officials and residents reported that the strikes on Kfar Rumman occurred without evacuation warnings. Other strikes were reported in Arab Salim, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and Deir Azharani.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the attacks as a dangerous escalation that targets civilian institutions and health centers. This surge in violence follows a June ceasefire mediated by the United States. The conflict in the region intensified in March after joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Israeli officials stated that the recent seizure of the Ali al-Taher ridge marks the consolidation of their security zone in southern Lebanon, while Lebanese sources expressed fear that Israel intends to prolong its occupation of the territory.
