The IHT Corrects Error on Palestinian Casualties
The International Herald Tribune wrongly blamed an unexploded Israeli shell for the death of two Palestinians in Khan Yunis last month. CAMERA staff prompted the following correction:
UPDATED: CAMERA has faulted the New York Times for sticking to its blame of Israel for a June 9 Gaza explosion despite evidence to the contrary. On June 14, the New York Times reported Israeli defense minister Amir Peretz's press conference about the IDF investigation into the explosion which concluded that Israel was not to blame. The article by Steven Erlanger and Ian Fisher also accurately attribute the idea of an "errant Israeli shell" being the source of the explosion to Gaza residents.
