Why isn’t the actual apology linked anywhere?
Edit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications
The idea is to generate outrage, not rational thought and discussion.
In overnight output we ran a story about Hamas accusing the Israeli army of carrying out summary executions in the Gaza strip. This was a Hamas statement, but although the accusations were attributed and our story contained a response from the Israeli military saying they were unaware of the incident and that Hamas was a terrorist organisation that did not value truth, we had not made sufficient effort to seek corroborating evidence to justify reporting the Hamas claim. We apologise for this mistake.
