The BBC faced criticism after questioning why the IDF did not warn Palestinians or Hamas before a hostage rescue operation in Gaza. Former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus was interviewed, with many expressing disbelief at the suggestion that Israel should have given advance notice to terrorists.
In which the BBC asks Israel why they didn't warn Hamas they were coming to rescue hostages. You don't have to be Genghis Khan to see the flaws in such a painfully naive strategy. https://t.co/kxbT11WlQQ
Remember when the BBC asked @jconricus why Israel didn’t warn Hamas that they were coming to rescue the hostages? https://t.co/GVzjAQwRtN
FDD's @JSchanzer calls out detractors who seek to hamstring #Israel's ability to defend itself & bring hostages held in #Gaza back home.

This still fucking slays me: A @BBC anchor over the wkend, during a TV interview, actually asked if Israel should’ve warned Gazans ahead of time of their secret plan to rescue the 4 Israeli hostages. She. Actually. Asked. That. Question. This is what Israel deals with every day.
BBC Reporter Suggests Israel Should Have Told Hamas They Were Coming To Get The Hostages A leftist BBC reporter complained during an interview over the weekend with a former spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that Israel did not tell Hamas terrorists that it was… https://t.co/6iromqxBiD
Former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus was asked by BBC News if the IDF should have warned Palestinians before an operation that rescued four hostages from Hamas captivity. https://t.co/u0D6rFWNkP
Jaw-droppingly stupid reporter on @BBCNews faults Israel for not issuing warnings in Gaza before recusing hostages. The imperturbable @jconricus maintains his composure and politely respond. But there is a moment where you see him repress a laugh. https://t.co/hvVShdykZk
Yes, it’s a mystery why the Israelis didn’t give everyone a heads up that they were about to mount a hostage rescue. Thank goodness the BBC is asking the tough questions. https://t.co/dbz0o1T1Ih
Former IDF spokesperson, Jonathan Conricus did well to not burst out laughing at the BBC’s ridiculous line of questioning. Israel is the only country in the entire world that isn’t allowed to fight terrorists without notifying them well in advance. https://t.co/XO4oxz66ig
This is the moment when the @BBCWorld asks @jconricus why Israel didn’t warn Gazans ahead of its rescue missions. Hard hitting journalists want to know why Israel didn’t give terrorists the chance to execute hostages and escape. https://t.co/0COBHcfxZ1
BBC: Shouldn’t the IDF have warned Hamas before the hostage rescue operation? 🤦♂️ https://t.co/FSowq6MfnM
LMAO 🤣 @BBC journalist asks why Israel didn't warn Palestinians ahead of the rescue operation 👇 Kudos to @jconricus for keeping his composure and not bursting in laughter 👏 https://t.co/RUJC0Xjsl7
I was asked at @bbc whether the @idf should have warned Palestinians before launching the rescue operation today. What do you think? https://t.co/9zjh2Gp6Zo
