This content analysis of attributed sources in the 1996, 2000, and 2006 news coverage of Israel's military actions in Lebanon shows a "Late Breaking Foreign Policy" effect Warren P. Strobel cites in his work, wherein media "Push" forward with reliance on government sources and allies in conflicts, but "Pull" back after setbacks. Israel dominated news sources in The New York Times and Washington Post, but there was significant increase in attributions to Lebanese sources due to rising civilian casualties in each conflict.
