Israeli media outlets have been labeling Palestinian victims as "terrorists" and omitting the toll of the military's bombardment on civilians, particularly children and women.

According to Israeli journalist Orly Noy, this biased coverage is part of a broader phenomenon where the media has invented alternative jargon to describe Palestinian resistance actions.

Noy claims that the media is mobilized to conceal the true impact of the attacks and to allow the war to continue, and that the more Palestinians are killed, the more dehumanization is needed to justify the Israeli government's actions.
