Looking at the two big news publishers in my country. One isn't reporting about the current bombings at all, while the other one is phrasing their words mostly anti-Palestinian.

Is there some neutral coverage I can keep up to? Where do you guys get your info from?

I've been a cord cutter for a long time and I enjoyed watching world news on Al Jazeera for a long time. While I definitely enjoyed their content as an alternative to the celebrity fluff filled US cable news, it's definitely biased against Israel when it comes to this conflict. However, I would still recommend everyone watch Al Nakba which is streaming for free with no ads on their website. It's a four episode documentary series about the founding of Israel with primary accounts of what happened in the ground there from Arabs, Israelis, and British officers.

It's probably very biased and one-sided, but the rest of the media is very biased and one-sided in the other direction.

For example, Wikipedia says that the 1948 war was started by the Arabs once Israel declared a state. In Al Nakba, they challenge that narrative with first-hand accounts from Arabs and British officers who say that it was the Israelis who started the war through ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages, in some cases before the British even left.

There's definitely places to get unbiased news, but each side is likely to hide information.

In general, there are a couple good resources that show bias in different news sources, you can check those out.

At Telegram channels. Subscribe to the top channels for both and then use your own discretion. Note: You need to use translate tool in Telegram as they use local languages.

If you need some hints for the name of the channels (the ones I sub to):

  1. For the Israeli: search for kod[twice]group about 148k subscribers.

  2. For Gaza: search for G××× Now. about 1.5M subscribers.

Need to be careful. There are some fake channels having similar names to those. So you need to double check the number of subscriptions.
