'Anyone watching, listening to or reading it can see we have set out both sides’ competing claims about the attack,' the BBC said
‘Anyone watching, listening to or reading it can see we have set out both sides’ competing claims about the attack,’ the BBC saidwas denounced, with Israel’s military claiming the broadcaster’s “misreporting” had inflamed tension with Arab nations in the region.
The Israel Defence Force accused the BBC of “accepting at face value the word of a terrorist organisation” by giving prominence to claims, shared by militant groups, that Israel was responsible. In his report, delivered just hours after the blast on Tuesday night, Mr Donnison said: “It’s hard to see what else this could be, really, given the size of the explosion, other than an Israeli air strike, or several air strikes.”
Mr Bowen told BBC News at Ten that a “very powerful missile” had caused the explosion but PIJ missiles only “caused pretty much minor damage” in southern Israel where he was stationed. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has accused broadcasters covering the Israel/Gaza conflict of trying to “outpace” social media by rushing out news before it has been verified.
