Coverage leans: center-left

The coverage is largely neutral and factual, reflecting the standard reporting style of international wire services and regional news agencies. The slight center-left lean comes from the European outlets' tendency to highlight civilian casualties without immediate military context, while Middle Eastern outlets remain strictly factual.
