It was a somewhat dark night on the airwaves as the nation’s talking heads brought us coverage of the so-called Madinaty murder and more on the latest Israeli raid on the West Bank city of Jenin.

Suspect charged in Madinaty murderer: A military doctor has been remanded to custody after being charged with murder and attempted murder and will soon be referred to the Military Criminal Court, Armed Forces Spokesman Gharib Abdel Hafez said in a statementyesterday. The defendant is accused of running over a pharmacist, killing her and injuring three of her children, her husband, and a family friend following an altercation in the Madinaty compound. The news received wide coverage from Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 3:05), Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 2:04), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 3:00), and Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 3:17).

The nation’s talking heads also continued their coverage of the Israeli attacks on the city of Jenin in the West Bank yesterday. “The Jenin refugee camp still houses thousands of Palestinians … Israeli forces haven’t infiltrated the entire camp,” Mahmoud Al Habbash, religious affairs advisor to the Palestinian president, told Salet El Tahrir (watch, runtime: 4:20), adding that Jenin’s infrastructure is being intentionally destroyed in the raid. Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 3:05) and Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 2:13) also had the story.

On a brighter note: Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 3:39) took note of Egypt and Turkey restoring ties and reappointing ambassadors after almost a decade of tension. We have the details in Diplomacy, above.
