"Fierce battles in Gaza as Israeli forces attack Hamas militants" screams the headline, seemingly forgetting that all the remaining civilians in Gaza also happen to be in that battle space.
Then they go about trying to stress people having fled so they don't have to deal with the awkward fact that they are bombing civilians:
Aid officials there believe the total who have now left the city may be about 350,000.
“The streets that were previously packed with [people] living in makeshift tents, most of those tents have been dismantled and people have fled. The area around the United Nations building [in the city centre] is unrecognisable … all of the people who were seeking some degree of sanctuary there have fled,” said Dr James Smith, a British medic currently in Rafah.
350,000 left? So that's roughly 650,000 still there then. Fucking ghouls.

As you would expect, it is packed full of lies and deceit and revisionist history.
Seems like the period of hang wringing and "oh isn't Israel bad" is over and normal service has been resumed.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
