BBC ‘BALANCE’ IN COVERAGE OF A FATAL TERROR ATTACK ON ROUTE 55
While the BBC’s report was updated two days later “to provide context on Israeli settlements in the West Bank”, it was not amended to clarify that Hamas had claimed responsibility for the attack on January 8th. That information was however included in a different report published on January 9th. As was reported on January 23rd, two of the perpetrators of that attack were eliminated later in the month.
On January 20th a member of the security forces was killed and three others injured by a roadside bomb while on patrol in Tamun. That incident did not receive any coverage on the BBC News website.
One member of the security forces was killed and six wounded on January 29th during operations in Jenin. A related BBC report published the following day made no mention of that incident.
A bus driver was injured in a rock throwing attack near Givat Asaf on January 2nd. On January 12th a female civilian was injured in a rock throwing attack on her car near Ariel. On January 16th a security guard at the Elihau Crossing was injured in a vehicular attack. None of those attacks received any BBC News website coverage.
On January 18th a civilian was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv which did not receive any stand-alone coverage on the BBC News website but was given a two-paragraph mention in a report on a different topic published the following day:
“Earlier on Saturday, several people were wounded in a stabbing attack near a restaurant In Tel Aviv, Israeli police said. The attacker was reportedly shot and killed at the scene by a civilian.
The suspect came to Tel Aviv “illegally” from Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, Israeli media said.”
On January 21st, four civilians were wounded in a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv perpetrated by a foreign national which was reported on the BBC News website.
