THE OFFENSE

The Washington Post published an article asserting that Israeli troops had killed more than 30 people near a U.S. aid site in Gaza.

THE TRUTH

The so-called “health officials” the Washington Post cited were members of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry. WaPo was ultimately forced to issue a correction.
