Neutral summary
Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for possible renewed hostilities with Israel, according to Lebanese security sources cited by Reuters. The sources said the group received tens of millions of dollars from Iran for military capabilities, in addition to around $200 million for displaced families; the group's media office did not dispute the reported attention to rearmament but rejected claims its command-and-control had collapsed. Sources said Hezbollah is focusing on explosives and drones, and is restoring command structures after losses at Bint Jbeil and the Ali al-Taher ridge. Israel's military declined to comment, Iran's UN mission did not immediately respond, and a US State Department spokesman said Washington would keep pressuring Hezbollah's finances, while a Treasury spokesperson said Iran was running out of money. Hezbollah has not said whether it would join any new fighting and says it wants to avoid giving Israel a pretext to escalate, fearing displacement of its constituents.
Where accounts differ. Ajker Patrika and Desh TV, citing Reuters, report that Hezbollah rejected claims its command-and-control had broken down, which The Straits Times does not mention; the outlets otherwise agree on the reported figures.

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. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. 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.
