Gaza flares as Israel hits back killing five

This article discusses the most recent escapade that occurred in the Gaza Strip. The ongoing fight between Jews and Muslims, Israelis and Palestinians.  The headline reads: "Saturday's casualty toll was one of the highest in a single incident in Gaza in recent months." This headline immediately indicates that the fighting is escalating once more.  The article uses logos and explains that Israelis killed four Palestinians and left 25 wounded after Palestine blew up an Israeli jeep, which led to the injuries of four Israeli men.  The headline is repeated again within the article to reiterate the grave reality of the war.  The journalist then uses pathos when he states that one of the Palestinians killed was an 18 year old man, which leads the audience to sympathize more with the Palestinian side of the crisis.  His bias toward Palestine continues when he includes the bland statement: "Israel denies targeting civilians."  Later, he continues this bias again when he includes information about a 12 year old Palestinian boy being killed in recent conflicts.  He repeats the same structure as earlier when he blandly states: "There was no report of casualties on the Israeli side."  He closes the article with another event where 1400 Palestinians were killed while only 13 Israelis were killed.  The journalist begins the article as an informative statement about the ongoing heated conflict between Palestinians and Israelis regarding who is to occupy the Gaza Strip, but his own opinion becomes extremely apparent throughout the article as he continuously talks about the enormous casualties Palestine suffers compared to Israel.
