U.S. DEFENDS Israel Over Gaza Aid Shooting That Killed 27 | Leavitt Blasts BBC's ‘FAKE’ Rafah Report [Video]

U.S. DEFENDS Israel Over Gaza Aid Shooting That Killed 27 | Leavitt Blasts BBC's ‘FAKE’ Rafah Report

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the BBC for its reporting on an alleged Israeli tank strike near an aid center in Rafah. Leavitt accused the outlet of relying too heavily on Hamas claims and pointed to several changing headlines as evidence of misinformation. The administration says it is verifying facts independently, suggesting the BBC prematurely blamed Israel. The clash reignites debates over media credibility, Middle East coverage, and the challenge of reporting from conflict zones. #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt #BBCNews #Rafah #GazaCrisis #MediaBias #Israel #Hamas #MiddleEast #PressBriefing #FakeNews #IsraelGaza #AidIncident #ConflictReporting #USPolitics #MediaWatch #HeadlineControversy #BBCvsWhiteHouse #GazaStrip #NewsEthics #Misinformation #InternationalNews #BreakingNews #BBCBacklash #IsraelPalestine #WarCoverage #PressFreedom #FactCheck #JournalismEthics #MediaAccountability Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Israeli Attack Kills 31 Near Aid Point In Gaza | Hamas SLAMS Israel Accusing IDF Of Bloodshed

An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized. Over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive. #GazaCrisis #IsraelHamasWar #RafahStrike #CeasefireTalks #AidUnderAttack #MiddleEastConflict #GazaWar #IsraelAttack #Hamas #HumanitarianCrisis #USBackedAid #GHF #PalestineNews #BreakingNews #TruceFailure #GazaDeaths #RedCrescent #NasserHospital #IsraelUnderFire #WarCrimes Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

US Security FIRES Live Rounds At Gazans As Aid Site Turns Deadly In Rafah Chaos, Dozens Injured [Video]

US Security FIRES Live Rounds At Gazans As Aid Site Turns Deadly In Rafah Chaos, Dozens Injured

Chaos erupted at a new aid site in Rafah as American security contractors guarding a US-Israeli-backed aid group fired stun grenades and live rounds at desperate Palestinian civilians. The incident left dozens injured. Thousands had overrun the compound operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which bypasses the UN system. Aid agencies and the UN have condemned the operation, warning it endangers lives and violates humanitarian principles. Israel supports GHF’s model, claiming it prevents Hamas interference — a charge Hamas denies. The UN calls the scenes from Rafah "heartbreaking." #gaza #ussecurity #ghf #rafah #palestine #gazaaid #humanitariancrisis #livefire #stungrenades #aidcrisis #israelpalestine #gazanews #aidworkers #warzone #unrefugees #humanitarianaid #middleeastconflict #blockade #faminegaza #breakingnews ~HT.318~ED.346~
