75. No. You're making stuff up.

Sunday

"BBC verified that the reports of casualties at the food distribution center were false" is made up. Nothing there says that, or that the OP is "is based on false information".

'The "local Palestinian journalist" in the 2:38 report turning into "One Palestinian" in the 12:36 report' is in no way a retraction. It doesn't say this was the same person. It doesn't say it wasn't the same person. The two sections are compatible, whether or not they're the same person.

It does not "walk the story back" -"thousands of Palestinians..." comes from a named journalist (Mohammed Ghareeb). The BBC later saying "Exact circumstances of today's incident remain unclear" is pointing out that still ("remain" ), the precise events are being sorted out; for instance, as I already pointed out, the BBC reported that the IDF said it was "currently unaware of injuries caused by IDF fire" - at 0401 EDT.
