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.
