BBC International Editor Stands Firm Despite Admission of Wrong Reporting in Gaza Hospital Bombing
BBC's international editor Jeremy Bowen faced criticism for his coverage of an explosion at a Gaza hospital, with many Western media outlets initially reporting that Israel bombed the hospital based on Hamas-linked statements. However, it was later revealed that the explosion was likely an Islamic Jihad rocket misfire. Bowen admitted to errors in his coverage but defiantly stated that he doesn't regret anything about his report. The BBC also offered a correction and apology for speculating about Israel's involvement in the blast.
