On Aug. 5th, the Times of London published an article (pay wall) titled ‘Refugee camp hit as Israel admits it broke truce’.
However, the article didn’t include any information even suggesting that Israel had “admitted” breaking the truce. Indeed, news sites reported that the time of the attack (aimed at a senior Hamas operative) was clearly in dispute.
After several complaints to Times editors, they agreed to revise the headline.
The print edition ran this correction:
We commend Times editors for their positive response to our complaint.
