The BBC has backtracked after it published a headline about last Friday’s terror attack which focused on the deaths of the perpetrators rather than the victims.

On Saturday BBC World tweeted the headline, “Three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem” with a link to an article about the attack.

The three Palestinian terrorists, who were targeting Israelis in two different areas, were shot dead after they attempted to murder Israeli policemen and had already killed Staff Sgt. Maj. Hadas Malka.

 After Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticised the BBC for the headline, the corporation changed the headline to: "Israeli policewoman stabbed to death in Jerusalem." 

 The BBC also published a statement saying: "We accept that our original headline did not appropriately reflect the nature of the events and subsequently changed it. Whilst there was no intention to mislead our audiences, we regret any offense caused."

 US President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., took to Twitter himself to lambast BBC World. "You mean after they stabbed a female Israeli police officer to death... right? This is as close to being misleading as possible," he charged. 

 The BBC has come under fire several times in the past for what is perceived as its biased coverage of Israeli affairs.
