These outlets have "journalists" in Gaza:

For the first time in the 2026 election polling, a Channel 13 poll shows Netanyahu’s bloc larger than the bloc opposing him.

In 9 of the last 10 years, Israel was the focus of more global media stories per capita than any other country, by far. 10M people — #95 in the world by population — but #6 in absolute volume of coverage over the decade. In 2024, 1 of every 26 articles on Earth was about Israel.

Big, important story.
Great job, CNN
Exclusive: More than 100 US military advisers are on the ground in Saudi Arabia providing intel & targeting support to the Kingdom for its military campaign against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, sources tell me, @KatieBoLillis & @kylieatwood.
Comes as fighting on the peninsula intensifies & risks spilling into open war -- with the Houthis threatening a second major shipping corridor out of Middle East.
