- On Tuesday night, October 17, an explosion at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital rocked Gaza City. Almost immediately, news organizations— Reuters, the AP, New York Times, & the Washington Post— blamed Israel, citing claims by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
But Israel denied any role in the explosion, and in the coming hours, it became clear that the explosion was caused by a misfired Hamas rocket. News organizations issued half-hearted retractions, but the narrative had echoed the globe, leading to violent anti-US and anti-Israel protests.
This is how the Western media got it wrong.
