You'll note, of course, the extremely awkward phrasing there, especially when it comes to "targeting Arab-speakers." That's pure Hamas propaganda playing up the "genocide" angle that's so popular in the West right now. There is no evidence that the Israel Defense Force is doing that. In fact, the IDF itself said they were going to specifically target Hamas operatives to try and avoid civilian casualties.
The network had to offer a retraction and an apology because it's extremely clear there were no editors on duty or, just as likely (if not more likely), the editors on duty also think Israel is both evil enough to do such a thing and dumb enough to announce it. //
The problem for the BBC, as the tweet above explains, is that this is all too common for the news outlet these days. //

A common practice by now:
The BBC spreads fake news, causes riots - and then apologizes for the false reporting after the damage is done, when it's too late.
Somehow, miraculously - these errors are always supporting the same side...
