- 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 in southern Lebanon killed at least four people and wounded 20 others on Sunday. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that two women were killed in Arab Salim and two people died in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. The strikes also hit Nabatieh city and Kfar Rumman. The Israeli military stated the operations were a response to two drones launched by Hezbollah at soldiers operating in a self declared security zone. Israel reported that one drone was shot down and no troops were injured.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described the strikes as a dangerous escalation and called on the United States and the international community to intervene. The Lebanese government noted that the attacks damaged a finance ministry building and destroyed the Ghandour hospital. The Israeli military countered that the hospital building had been converted into a Hezbollah command center and that precision munitions were used to minimize civilian casualties. In Arab Salim, Israel issued an evacuation warning via the internet before striking a building it identified as a Hezbollah facility.
These events occur despite a framework agreement and a U.S. brokered ceasefire reached in June. Since the conflict began in March, Lebanese authorities say more than 4,300 people have been killed. Hezbollah has rejected direct negotiations between Beirut and Israel, claiming the continued Israeli military presence is intended to pressure the Lebanese government. Meanwhile, some reports indicate the Israeli military is considering repositioning troops closer to the border along a new line.
