There have been many reports of Palestinians being killed by Israeli forces since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. There were nine Palestinians killed in north Gaza by Israeli airstrikes, including four journalists - reported as the deadliest attack on a single site since 19th January.

Hamas spokesperson stated 

"Hamas has complied fully with the agreement, while the occupation (Israel) didn’t comply with some clauses. It (Israel) seeks to foil the agreement and impose new conditions."

This is an example of hard news as it reflects real world events/problems , as well as the politics of two groups.

This would appeal to an audience as it is real journalism and reports on serious events that are happening in the world rather than focusing on things like celebrity news.
