An Israeli hospital has banned news personnel from the British Broadcasting Corporation in protest of its coverage of the carnage left by Hamas terrorists who staged a surprise assault earlier this month that left at least 1,400 civilians and soldiers dead and scores in captivity.
The NY Post reports the Galilee Medical Center in the northern town of Nahariya, whose trauma ward is treating Israeli soldiers wounded from fighting Hezbollah terrorists along the country’s border with Lebanon, was scheduled to allow a BBC camera crew to film footage of doctors and nurses treating troops on Saturday.
But hospital management decided to cancel the visit.
“I have notified the BBC crew that was planning to arrive [Saturday morning] to film news footage of the following: Galilee Medical Center is at this time suspending the entry of the BBC until further notice,” an official statement from a hospital spokesperson read.
BBC told staffers recently that it would provide mental health support after a torrent of abuse was directed at company personnel online.
Taylor lamented the fact that staffers were “experiencing abuse, either online or in person” and that it was exacerbating the “trauma caused by viewing specific images” from the Israel-Hamas war.
