Israel's 'September 11th': A global media perspective on the conflict
Following the killings of hundreds of Israeli citizens by Hamas, newspapers from around the world covered Operation Swords of Iron.
Following the recent surge in violence that tragically resulted in the deaths of at least hundreds-of-Israelis, newspapers worldwide have been covering the ongoing conflict.
The British "Sunday Telegraph" dubbed the incident "Israel's September 11th," featuring a photograph of a father and his two daughters fleeing the impact zone in Ashkelon. In contrast, the Daily Mail's front page showcased a photo of Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip with her partner, accompanied by the plea: "Don't kill me."
The Observer newspaper highlighted a haunting image of Hamas militants hoisting the organization's flag on an IDF tank at the Gaza Strip border. The Italian publication La Repubblica ran a cover story with the headline: "A Strike at the Heart of Israel."
