✕ Loaded Labels [70/10]: The headline directly states that the baby was 'shot dead by Israeli troops', which attributes causality and agency without hedging, though the body later notes the IDF's claim of perceiving a threat. This could be seen as presenting a conclusion before the full context.

✕ Editorializing [9/10]: The article avoids overt emotional language in describing the shooting, sticking to factual accounts from witnesses and officials.

"Local residents showed me exactly where their car was hit halfway up the hill to the checkpoint."

✕ Episodic Framing [6/10]: The article centers on the human tragedy of the infant’s death and the family’s grief, which risks episodic framing, but it actively counters this by linking the event to systemic issues in Hebron and the wider West Bank.

"The body of Sam Fahd Abu Haikal was laid to rest in Hebron, the day after he suffered a fatal wound from the bullet of an Israeli soldier."

✕ Narrative Framing [9/10]: By detailing the history of Tel Rumeida as a flashpoint and the presence of settlers and military, the article provides structural context that elevates it beyond a single incident.
