The New York Times admits that it relied heavily on Hamas lies while reporting on Gaza hospital blast

Op India  

On October 23, Monday, The New York Times published a clarification in which it offered a tepid justification for attributing responsibility for the attack on the Gaza-based Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital last week to Israel. Read the note in full here.https://t.co/v5zQmY0euN — The New York Times October 23, 2023 The global media outlet, that had repeatedly and prominently featured Hamas’s claim that the blast last week at Gaza City’s al-Ahli Baptist Hospital was caused by an Israeli airstrike, in its ‘editor’s note’ justified its reportage by continuously reiterating that it had updated its coverage as more information became available on the incident. How AltNews’ Mohammad Zubair and global media including The New York Times peddled a terror organisation’s claims It may be recalled that on October 17, a rocket fell on the Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza. The New York Times had after the strike on October 17, shared its report and said, “Breaking News: An Israeli airstrike hit a Gaza hospital on Tuesday, killing at least 200 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, which said the number of casualties was expected to rise.” Notably, the next day on October 18, NYT posted an update which read, “At least 500 people were killed by an Israeli airstrike at a Gaza hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. While the majority of experts were examining the hospital explosion video, comparing geolocations on maps, examining building damage, and trying to verify the facts and claims made by Hamas, a few assorted Islamists, such as the well-known ‘fact-checker’ Zubair, and these aforementioned global news organizations quickly jumped in to support Hamas’s lies pertaining to the Gaza hospital attack.
