Late-night coverage zeroes in on captives, with American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin's fate drawing nationwide attention.

From The New York Times to Le Figaro, global media spotlight dramatic escalation in Lebanon-Israel tensions.

The world is insisting that Israel is bloodthirsty - that it is doing something other than what any country would do after suffering the kind of invasion that Israel suffered on October 7th.

The pro-Hezbollah newspaper 'Al Akhbar' published a series of commentary articles with an image of Tel Aviv in the background, promising a coordinated attack by Tehran's proxies on Israel. The 'Tasnim' news agency chose to focus on Israel's decision-making process.

Israel Hayom's dominance in the market remains unchallenged, with the newspaper consistently topping the readership charts.

The channel’s news anchor Martine Croxall criticized for suggesting Hezbollah's attacks stem from “concern.”

Like many news outlets worldwide, the Al-Jazeera channel used this AP footage livestreamed from the Gaza border. Minister Karhi believed the live coverage endangered Israeli troops by exposing their locations and that he had the authority under the Al-Jazeera law to confiscate the equipment.

"I made the point that there is dispute around whether, very tragically, some of the hostages taken on October 7 were raped when held by Hamas," LBC's Natasha Devon writes. "I said this because I had read some commentary on this subject that I thought was credible, but it wasn't. That commentary was erroneous. I should not have repeated this commentary. I was in error in doing so, and I wholeheartedly apologize."

Many outlets focused on the former president's comments urging Israel to "finish up" the Gaza war.
