The article closes with what appears to be a section partly copy/pasted from a
previous related reportthat appeared in August 2021:
“The Leicester facility builds unmanned aerial vehicles that the protesters allege were used in the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
A ceasefire was agreed on 21 May between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, with both claiming victory.
It came after 11 days of fighting, which left at least 255 people dead.
It culminated in clashes at al-Aqsa, a holy site revered by both Muslims and Jews.
After warning Israel to withdraw, Hamas began firing rockets, triggering retaliatory air strikes.”
Obviously in the ten months that have passed since ‘Operation Guardian of the Walls’, BBC East Midlands has not bothered to confirm or refute that allegation from “the protesters” which it has repeatedly uncritically amplified.
Clearly the claim that the “11 days of fighting…culminated in clashes at al-Aqsa” is
misleading given that (as is clear in the previous report from which that sentence is apparently taken) those
pre-planned “clashes” took place before the commencement of the “11 days of fighting” (during which terrorist groups fired some 4,400 rockets at civilian targets in Israel).
Clearly too the writer of this report is insufficiently familiar with the BBC’s
style guide entry concerning Temple Mount, with the result being that readers are inaccurately informed that “al Aqsa” is “revered by…Jews”.
