What the coverage shows
All six outlets center the same basic frame of a looming or ordered West Bank closure after a shooting near Hebron. Sky News and The Independent stick closely to the closure order, while France 24 and NBC News foreground the military account of killing two alleged attackers; South China Morning Post uniquely adds that five Israelis were wounded and ties the order to days before Israeli elections. Al Jazeera is the only outlet to use more expansive language about “pogroms” and heightened tensions in its extract.
