An-Nahar calls it Israel's 'aggression since 2 March'; Al-Monitor says Hezbollah 'dragged Lebanon' into the war

Israeli strikes and shelling hit south Lebanon again on Friday. Two reports each give a different start to the war, and neither says who told them.

The day. An-Nahar reports Israeli air strikes on Zawtar al-Sharqiya, Bani Hayyan and the valley between Froun and Ghandouriyeh. It reports shelling and blasts in Deir Siryan and Taybeh. It also says Israeli troops set fire to homes in Khiam, and gives no source for that. An-Nahar reports that the Israeli army fired an interceptor at a "suspicious aerial target" in the south.

The school. Al-Monitor reports that eight-year-old Yara Ajami started the school year in Burj Qalaway in a classroom with no doors or windows. Israel struck her school in May.

Who started it. Two reports give two different starts. Each states its own as fact:

Outlet When the war began Attributed?
An-Nahar Israel's "aggression on Lebanon" since 2 March No
Al-Monitor Hezbollah "dragged Lebanon" in by attacking Israel No
Al-Modon Does not say. Its headline quotes President Aoun: Israel is "not an exception to the rules of war" Quoted

The toll. Only An-Nahar gives one: at least 4,386 killed and 12,407 wounded since 2 March, according to the Lebanese authorities. It does not say how many of the dead were fighters. We hold no Israeli count.

Not settled. - Who fired first in March. No report we hold shows it. - How far into Lebanon Israel's forces are. An-Nahar says more than 10 km and gives no source. - What Israel says it was aiming at. No report we hold gives it.

What this is about. Israel and Hezbollah, an armed Lebanese movement, are at war again. Most of the fighting is in south Lebanon.

How it got here. Israel occupied a strip of south Lebanon from 1982 until it withdrew in 2000. Hezbollah formed in the 1980s to fight that occupation. It is a Shia party with seats in Lebanon's parliament, it has an armed wing, and Iran backs it. Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in 2006. It ended with UN Security Council Resolution 1701. That resolution says no armed group except the Lebanese state should be south of the Litani river. It also gives a UN force, UNIFIL, a role in the area.

Hamas led an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, and war in Gaza followed. Hezbollah then began firing on northern Israel, and Israel struck back. The fighting grew into a wider war in autumn 2024. A ceasefire in November 2024 ended it, but Israeli forces stayed at positions inside Lebanon.

The fighting started again this year. An-Nahar dates it from 2 March. The outlets we hold disagree about who started it, and we cannot settle that.

The actors. - Israel is carrying out the strikes and shelling in the south. We hold no Israeli statement on what they are aimed at. - Hezbollah is part of Lebanon's politics and is also the force fighting Israel. We hold no statement from it on this. - The Lebanese state has its own army. President Joseph Aoun has led it since January 2025. Al-Modon reports he called Lebanese trust in the army its "most important weapon".

What is at stake. Whether Israel's forces stay in the south. Whether more than a million displaced people can go home. That is An-Nahar's figure. And whether Lebanon's army, rather than Hezbollah, ends up holding the south.

Where it stands. Strikes and shelling continued on Friday. In the south, schools are reopening in damaged buildings.

What is being argued about

  • Who started the war: Israel's campaign from 2 March, or Hezbollah's attack
  • A child back at a school in Burj Qalaway that an Israeli strike destroyed
  • The Lebanese authorities' toll of at least 4,386 killed
  • President Aoun says Israel is bound by the rules of war
Three reports, three ways to describe the warSide by side
OutletWhat it saidHedged?
An-Nahar"Since 2 March, Israel continues its aggression on Lebanon"No, in its own voice
Al-Monitor"Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into the Middle East war by attacking its southern neighbour"No, in its own voice
Al-ModonAoun: Israel is "not an exception to the rules of war"Quoted as the president's words
Neither report's start date for the war is attributed to a source.

The bias in this coverageBias

Two starting points, both stated as fact

One report dates the war from Israel's 'aggression' in March. Another dates it from Hezbollah 'dragging' Lebanon in. Neither attributes its starting point to a source.

1 reports dating the war from Israel's campaign 1 reports dating it from Hezbollah's attack 0 reports attributing either starting point

Counted in one, named in another

One report gives the Lebanese authorities' death toll. Another names a single child affected by the strikes. No report says what Israel says the strikes were aimed at.

1 reports giving a death toll 1 reports naming anyone affected 0 reports giving Israel's stated targets
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.
