How the sources covered it

Some coverage focused on listing the targeted towns and the type of shelling, citing the National News Agency, while other coverage added broader political and military context (the framework agreement, the war since March 2, casualty figures), and one report highlighted a Hebrew site's account of an air strike on Mansouri. The main difference lies between emphasis on cumulative casualties and figures and emphasis on identifying locations and field events.
