After the AP initially ignored the death of 11-year-old Nesya Karadi, who succumbed to the wounds she suffered in an Iranian cluster munitions attack, CAMERA prompted coverage that was carried in more than 150 media outlets.
All of the fatalities within Israel and the PA-controlled West Bank from Iranian missile attacks have been civilians, underscoring the Iranian regime’s use of cluster munitions in attacks against densely populated residential areas, almost certainly a war crime.

On April 25, 11-year-old Nesya Karadi died from the wounds she suffered when Iranian cluster munitions struck her Bnei Brak neighborhood in central Israel on April 1. Her grieving father eulogized the young girl, saying Nesya “taught me what true joy is.”
By April 26, the Associated Press, with its robust Jerusalem bureau, had neither reported on Nesya’s death nor taken it into account in its running death toll of those killed in Israel during the war.
After CAMERA contacted the wire service about its failure to report on this latest fatality of Iranian attacks on Israeli civilian areas, the AP published an update on the 11-year-old’s death that was subsequently carried by more than 150 news sites across North America—more than 150 news sites that otherwise wouldn’t have published a word about Nesya’s killing.
