The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though the situation in the region continues to escalate, the US is not directly involved and tries to use its influence over Israel to encourage it to act responsibly when operating in Lebanon. Israel has every right to respond to Hezbollah's daily terror attacks along its northern border. However, it is in no one's interest for tensions to explode into a wider regional war. The US will continue to work toward regional stability.

New York Times

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel is fighting an existential multi-front war, yet the US and its media refuse to give it a fair shake. As Israel battles Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza while mulling how to respond to a direct Iranian attack, the US is working to restrict Israel's actions by meddling in its internal politics. Israel must make clear to the US that it will take whatever action it deems necessary.

Jerusalem Post

Pro-Palestine narrative

It's clear that Israel has the same goals in Lebanon that it has had in Gaza — the forced displacement of the civilian population. Indeed, Israel seeks to spread terror among the Lebanese people to punish them for standing with Gaza. Israel has provided no evidence to justify the myriad of strikes it has carried out in Lebanon, and its actions simply serve to terrorize the civilian population.

Middle East Eye

Pro-Iran narrative

This is a clear example of terrorism and a disregard for human life by Israel. Hezbollah opened a support front with Israel to stand in solidarity with Gaza, which has faced a genocidal Israeli campaign. Its attacks will end when Israel withdraws from Gaza. Meanwhile, Hezbollah is ready and able to defend Lebanon from Israeli aggression.
