Controversial Coverage of Hospital Explosion in Gaza
The New York Times faced scrutiny for its coverage of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza during the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The initial report attributed the explosion to an Israeli airstrike based on information from Palestinian officials. However, it later became apparent that the Times' source was the Hamas-backed Palestinian health ministry, leading to questions about the accuracy of the report.
