The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Though the Hamas militants have infiltrated from land, sea, and air, the Israel Defense Forces will act sternly to defend itself from any violent provocation. An attack on the Israeli territory and civilians is an attack on the country's sovereignty. Hamas will bear the results and responsibility for its vicious and terrorizing actions.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Hamas has launched armed resistance in direct response to the increasing attacks on the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the mounting crimes following years of illegal and oppressive Israeli occupation. Tel Aviv alone is responsible for this latest escalation of violence.
