It’s quite likely that the media has attributed the death of a pregnant Palestinian woman and a baby to ‘Israel’ before properly ascertaining the facts.
The IDF said it was caused by one of the Palestinians’ own missiles that fell short. This is not a first. Remember the case of the baby “who only knew how to smile?”
Jon Donnison's overwrought report still up there on the BBC website.
It was a tragic case - but not likely to have been caused by Israel, though the BBC disputes this.
The BBC is quite happy to regurgitate information from Palestinian sources unquestioningly. The Palestinian Ministry of misinformation...... is Hamas.
Scroll through the IDF’s Twitter to get a picture of what’s going on.
Why choose Hamas’s word over Israel’s before any investigation has had time to take place? Easy. Because if you blame Israel no-one will bother to question it. Ever.
Update.
(Washington Examiner)
"One of the terror organizations responsible for the recent barrage of attacks against Israel admitted that a malfunction with its own rocket killed a baby in Gaza after previously blaming Israel.But Tommy Corbyn hasn't got the memo.
A report from the Telegram account of Hamas’ al-Risala News was published Sunday and said that the 14-month child was killed by a Gazan rocket that exploded inside of the family’s home, there are also reports that a woman also died in the Saturday blast. The report was quickly deleted, the Jerusalem Post reports.
“There is a claim that the technical failure was caused by low-grade explosives in the rocket,” it said. “There is no doubt that the baby’s death has nothing to do with the enemy’s [Israel’s] planes.”
