ANCHOR: "Now an apology from the BBC. BBC News as it covered initial report said Israeli forces has entered Gaza's main hospital. We said that medical teams and Arab speakers were being targeted. This was incorrect, misquoted a 'Reuters' report. We should have said IDF forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers for this operation. So we apologize for this error which fell below our usual editorial standards.”
