The BBC news network has issued an apology for regurgitating a false claim
from the terrorist organization Hamas that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
were executing Palestinians inside Gaza.

The BBC reported on Christmas Eve that Israel was carrying out “summary
executions” of Palestinian civilians inside Gaza, Deadline reported. The
report said that the news agency AFP, which said it could not verify the
claims, appeared to be the source of the story.

“In overnight output [on BBC radio news bulletins] we ran a story about Hamas
accusing the Israeli army of carrying out summary executions in the Gaza
strip,” the BBC said in a statement. “This was a Hamas statement, but
although the accusations were attributed and our story contained a response
from the Israeli military saying they were unaware of the incident and that
Hamas was a terrorist organisation that did not value truth, we had not made
sufficient effort to seek corroborating evidence to justify reporting the
Hamas claim. We apologise for this mistake.”

The Times of Israel noted that the BBC has faced intense criticism, including
from the British government, for refusing to call Hamas a terrorist
organization.

The BBC has been forced to apologize for reporting false claims against
Israel as the country hunts down the Islamic terrorists responsible for
murdering 1,200 Israelis during the unprecedented October 7 terrorist attack.

The network speculated on air that Israel was behind an explosion at a
hospital inside Gaza. It was later proven that the explosion was caused by a
rocket fired by terrorists with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The BBC also issued an apology after claiming that Israeli troops targeted
Arabs and medics during their raid of Al-Shifa, a hospital inside Gaza that
was used as a terrorist command center. The network, which misquoted a
Reuters news article, said Israeli troops were “targeting people, including
medical teams as well as Arab speakers.” What the report actually said was
that the IDF had Arabic-speaking soldiers and medics that were at the scene
to make sure that “supplies reach those in need.”
