Security-focused Moroccan framing: Al Jazeera's coverage focuses on Moroccan police operations around Fnideq and Ceuta without detailing Spain's on-the-ground response.

Reliance on union sources: Gulf Times article draws primarily on union documents relayed by Reuters rather than detailed official statements from Madrid.

Limited Moroccan incident coverage: Qatari outlets provide minimal detail on how Rabat handled the 14 bodies recovered on its territory during the July surge.
