"Hey @BBCWorld, as of this morning your modern blood libel about the hospital attack is still up. We see you, and now everyone else does too."
Why It’s Conflation
A reporter speculated about the cause of an explosion in the first hours after it. That’s a journalism mistake that calls for a correction. Israel’s government account called it a blood libel.
What Actually Happened
A BBC correspondent said it was unclear what caused the explosion at Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza, but suggested it might have been an Israeli strike.
