I get daily updates from MFA the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in this way I can easier monitor which stories are covered, and if so - how, by the BBC.
Knowing how much the BBC always likes to mention injuries to Palestinian women and children in stories related to conflict there, when I read the story below from MFA today I knew the BBC wouldn't be running it.
The only article related to this conflict being run on the BBC website is this one updated Thursday: Militant groups in Gaza agree to a second Israel truce
Despite numerous rockets and mortars raining down on Israel following the Palestinian declared 'truce' the BBC prefer to avoid mentioning how they are disregarding it completely, let alone let it be know that they are endangering their own people with it.
And for sure, they won't let it be known that Israel has rescued some of them from it, and more especially when they were receiving medical aid in Israel. Doesn't fit in to the desired viewpoint the BBC want to inculcate.
You think the BBC were unaware of it? After all, aren't their journalists there still working, or do they just prefer to ignore it?

IDF rescues Palestinians during mortar attack on Erez Crossing
Several mortar shells hit the Erez Crossing, just as three Palestinian women and two infants were crossing back into the Gaza Strip after receiving medical treatment in Israel.
On Thursday night (August 25th), the terror organizations from the Gaza Strip continued launching rockets and mortar shells towards Israel.
During the attack several mortar shells hit the Erez Crossing, just as three Palestinian women and two infants were crossing back into the Gaza Strip after receiving medical treatment in Israel, causing damage to the crossing's infrastructure and an electrical shutdown. The power outage disabled gates at the crossing. Two of the women passed through safely but a third woman, along with her infant daughter, got caught between two disabled gates while rockets were falling.
The commander of the Erez crossing and another security officer rescued the woman and her daughter. All of the Palestinian women were brought to a protected shelter at the crossing where they were given a meal for the end of the daily Ramadan fast.
The squad of terrorists that fired a mortar shell hitting the Erez Crossing was targeted shortly afterwards by an IAF aircraft, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip have fired over 15 rockets and mortars at Israel on Thursday, causing severe damage to the Erez Crossing.
The Erez Crossing is used for the movement of Palestinians and foreign staff members of international organizations in and out of the Gaza Strip. It should be noted that this is the second time this week the Erez Crossing has been hit by mortar shells and rockets. Despite rocket attacks from Gaza, the Erez crossing continued to operate in recent days, allowing for the passage of Palestinian medical patients and staff members of international organizations. The supply crossings into Gaza continued to operate, delivering over 150 truckloads of goods and food.
