Why is American media not showing any of this? Reading or watching US news is like being in a parallel universe.
Israel is really good at misinformation, disinformation, information warfare and controlled narratives.
Isn't misinformation and disinformation the same thing?
Almost. Disinformation is lying, while misinformation can be whaddaboutisms and/or a blackout of the inconvenient truths. Misinformation can include true facts, but use outliers as proof to their veracity. Misinformation can also include disinformation, but play semantics to minimize the controversies of labeling lies as the lies that they are.
Hamas continues to send missiles and hiding in areas barred from being attacked by military attacks from the rules of warfare. IDF says that they will not hold back on their counter-attacks, that the Palestinians were warned.
I see Russia attack Ukraine with the same terrorist targeting of civilian casualties as Hamas and Israel. My fear is that this is how warfare will be fought until enough carnage is inflicted that all sides see the consequences of breaking rules of engagement.
Morally, both sides (IDF and Hamas) have been bad for decades.

Their funding is questionable but their coverage of the region is really good. They also cover a ton of topics in SE Asia that are only really touched upon otherwise by the BBC.
Are there media outlets in other countries, other than Israel, running articles like this? It would be interesting to know what you're comparing it to.
Al Jazeera has good reporting usually. YouTube tells me they have questionable funding, I haven't followed up on it.

Israel has specifically threatened the families of Al Jazeera's Palestinian team. That tells me all I need to know.
