Israeli forces sealed Hebron and launched a large operation after a Friday checkpoint shooting killed two soldiers. Thousands of Palestinians have been displaced.
Why it matters: Displacement counts vary by source. The Hebron municipality told the AP more than 2,600 people; its mayor told Reuters 1,200, with 1,300 more at risk.
Where they split: Coverage divides on whether the operation is a targeted hunt for militants and weapons, as the military says, or collective punishment of a whole city, as Palestinian officials and Israeli rights groups say.
Left coverage, 2 sources: The left frames the operation as a show of force timed to Netanyahu's election, with Al Jazeera calling it an assault and collective punishment.
Right coverage, 1 sources: The right presents it as a response to a terror attack, while giving space to Israeli rights groups' humanitarian concerns.
What’s next: Crossings into Israel remain closed until after Tuesday's election. The army declined to give an end date.
