The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: Two Palestinians killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza, 27 to 28 Sept 2026, 8 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 26 outlets in 18 countries, across 4 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 26 outlets, 4 state-owned, 2 public-service, 20 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 3: Argentina, Costa Rica, Peru. Asia-Pacific 5: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam. Europe 5: Austria, France, Greece, Ireland, Portugal. Middle East 4: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey. International 1: the outlets that publish from no single country, counted as one. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: Arabic, German, Greek, English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Portuguese, Vietnamese.
Timeline: Earliest article The Express Tribune, 29 Sept 2026, 01:33 UTC. First seen 29 Sept 2026, 06:30 UTC. Last seen 30 Sept 2026, 23:13 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region Middle East, Palestinian Territories. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: None now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Continues Two Palestinians killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza. Continued by Israeli strikes kill 3 people in Gaza; مقتل 8 مدنيين في غزة بنيران الاحتلال الإسرائيلي خلال 24 ساعة; Muere un palestino en ataque de Israel contra un grupo de personas en el sur de Gaza pese a la tregua; Israel kills eight in Gaza as ceasefire violations continue a year on. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
Day by day: Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
