I’m in the US.
I haven’t discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.
I’ve seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven’t determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.
Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.
Israel is definitely attacking Gaza, but Gaza isn’t an entity with the ability to fight back. Thus ‘Israel–Gaza war’ is a false equivalence.
Similarly, ‘Israel–Hamas war’ is troublesome because both are also attacking people not part of the conflict.
Maybe it’s ‘a series of Israel & Hamas terrorist attacks in the region of Gaza’ 🤷
