White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has escalated her attacks against the BBC for its recent coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.
Leavitt, 27, said that the BBC took 'the word of Hamas' after it reported on a shooting at an aid station in Gaza on Sunday.
The Hamas-backed Civil Defence agency claims there were between 21 to 31 killed after Israeli forces opened up fire at an aid station near Rafah on Sunday. Over 170 were reported injured, though Israel denies it was involved.
'Unfortunately, unlike some in the media we don't take the word of Hamas with total truth. We like to look into it when they speak, unlike the BBC,' Leavitt said during a press briefing on Tuesday after getting questioned about the incident.
She accused the British outlet of writing 'multiple headlines' that she took issue with.
