Israel to close occupied West Bank crossings over election

Neutral summary
Israel's military said all West Bank land crossings will be closed on Tuesday, election day, and Palestinian workers barred from entering settlements, amid a crackdown after Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three at a checkpoint near Hebron on Friday. The army said it operated in 40 areas over the weekend and detained around 40 suspects it said were linked to Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Hebron's mayor said more than 2,000 residents had been displaced, and Defence Minister Israel Katz said they would not return until the Hamas issues were dealt with. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a heavy price and a large operation. The mayor said the operation was driven by the elections, a claim the articles attribute to him. Thousands protested in Tel Aviv on Saturday against the government. The Palestinian Authority called for international pressure to protect residents.
Where accounts differ. Displacement figures differ: Hebron's mayor and Katz-cited reports give about 2,000 to 2,200 displaced in some outlets, while Euronews cites Wafa's figure of about 2,500, and the IDF says no civilians were forced to leave.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
