The BBC apologized Wednesday after an anchor misquoted a Reuters report, mistakenly saying during a live broadcast that Israel’s military siege and raid of a Gaza hospital targeted medical staff and Arabic speakers, prompting outcry from some Jewish groups. The Reuters report quoted an IDF spokesperson saying, “Our medical teams and Arabic speaking soldiers are on the ground to ensure that these supplies reach those in need.” The news anchor said that the Israeli military was “targeting people including medical teams as well as Arab speakers” in Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital, a misquote of the Reuters report.Another anchor later read out an on-air apology and the BBC issued a correction on its website. “What we should have said is that IDF forces included medical staff and Arabic speakers for this operation,” said the news anchor. “We apologize for this error, which fell below our usual editorial standards.”In the same Reuters story, it reported Israeli troops were searching rooms ...Dashcam video shows moment of crash on Route 3 in Billerica that sent tanker truck onto its side, spilling fuel
