The Spin

Narrative A

Finally, the IDF has admitted it failed in its mission to bring the hostages back home alive. The deaths could have been prevented through earlier negotiations. The continued military pressure is endangering the remaining hostages' lives, and only a diplomatic solution through a hostage deal can ensure the safe return of innocent civilians still in captivity.

New York Times

Narrative B

The military operated carefully in the area despite low intelligence indicators of hostage presence. The IDF's actions were necessary for dismantling Hamas' infrastructure and mitigating future threats. The IDF was only exerting relentless pressure on Hamas to free the captives; the terrorists bear sole responsibility for murdering the hostages.
