Israel orders ‘full lockdown’ of occupied West Bank
Israel ordered a “full lockdown” of the occupied West Bank Friday after the Israeli military said two of its soldiers were killed during an attack that also left two Palestinian gunmen dead.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the shooting in the West Bank and report five Israelis wounded, with each noting that the Israeli military said two assailants were killed. Fox News uses a blunter headline about “suspected gunmen” and adds the location as Judea Junction in the southern West Bank, while the New York Times frames the attackers as “Palestinian Gunmen” and uniquely mentions that the attack came days before national elections.
