This seems like a consequence of the bot activity driving those messages, including concerted efforts to spread false information.
I.E. It's possibly in response to (1) fake news reporting from their own users, (2) their EU-misinformation obligations and (3) analysis of messages and traffic sources across their own apps.
Regardless of one's view to the war, it's been trivial to see how misinformation has exploded since October.

First the White House backpedaled, he didn't actually see the photos himself, then the IDF did, there were no photos. Misinformation obligations, good one. A widespread effort to belittle or even justify genocide is everywhere you turn... but sure, this magically could be something else in this instance. > Regardless of one's view to the war It's not a "war".

So even assuming militants and misinformation on each side follows those proportions (probably slightly worse if you include the far left), any attempt at curbing false information will hit the Palestinian side in larger numbers. Doesn't mean I agree that social networks or the EU should be the arbitrator of truth.
