'Disgusting' reporting scrutinised following Hamas attack on Israel

Sky News host Rowan Dean looks at the reporting of the Hamas attack on Israel last week. “I was contacted by a left-wing acquaintance of mine the other morning who said, ‘Rowan, I have never agreed with your stance on the ABC until now, they must be defunded',” Mr Dean said. “He went on: ‘While every international news service we looked at last weekend reported it for what it was, a murderous terrorist attack with indiscriminate and deliberate killing of civilians, the ABC reported it as a military operation by Hamas’." Mr Dean pointed to an ABC report saying, "Palestinian militants launch surprise assault, Israel strikes targets in Gaza" at 6pm on Saturday October 7. He condemned the “disgusting reporting” in the ABC article that said, “renewed violence has broken out along Israel's volatile border with Gaza”. “'Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack against Israel, prompting Israel's military to begin striking targets in the Gaza Strip' – what an abomination."
