Hezbollah says it has successfully completed the first phase of a retaliatory attack on Israel in response to the killing of commander Fuad Shukr .. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/31/who-isfuad-shukr .. at the end of July.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel said it had launched airstrikes on southern Lebanon in a “preemptive” attack when it detected Hezbollah’s preparation to attack northern Israel.
That's Al Jazeera. Note the heading says clearly Israel attacked first. No ambiguity. Now Reuters. Israel striking first doesn't get a mention until down a bit, and even then the first strike of this latest day is mentioned indirectly, as a preemptive attack by Irael.

Summary
* Hezbollah launches hundreds of missiles at northern Israel * Attack follows assassination of Hezbollah commander in Beirut * Israel says pre-emptive strikes in Lebanon stopped bigger attack Hezbollah says attack has been completed, denies plans thwarted by Israeli strikes
JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in Beirut last month, the Iranian-backed movement said, as Israel's cabinet met to prepare a response. The Israeli military said it had thwarted a much larger attack with pre-emptive strikes after it assessed that Hezbollah was preparing to launch the barrage.
Based on just the above, i'd say it would be fair to say Al Jazeera gives the most candid reportage of this exchange. Why this post. well i said here i believed Al Jazeera reporting is credible, meaning i felt it consistent with what i saw in other places, including Haaretz. So on seeing the two in a search list it struck me that since it has been suggested on this board Al Jazeera is no more credible on this war than say the NYPost or Breitbart could be this was some evidence to support my position that Al Jazeera's reporting on the war was credible. So this post.
Based on the above i see Al Jazeera as winning on the question of straight-up reporting, this time.. What do you think.

Saudi Arabia issued a stern warning to Israel amidst the ongoing Rafah operation by the IDF, escalating tensions further. Riyadh intensified pressure on Israel, following the recent order by the International Court of Justice to 'immediately' stop the Rafah offensive. The Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister conveyed these remarks in Brussels on May 26, following reports of the U.S. considering lifting the ban on offensive weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. Concurrently, discussions between America and Saudi Arabia regarding various bilateral deals are underway, forming part of the U.S.'s efforts to normalize ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, experts speculate that the signing of these deals is improbable without a ceasefire in Gaza. Watch the full video for more.
