(JNS) — On Tuesday evening, Anjana Gadgil, a BBC anchor, drew upon language that evokes blood libels during an interview with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

המראיינת מה-BBC העזה לטעון בפניי ש״חיילי צה״ל שמחים להרוג ילדים״ (!). ממש במילים אלה. צפו בתשובה שלי. (מתוך ראיון שלי הערב ל-BBC).

An Israeli soldier was fatally shot in the West Bank city of Jenin as Israeli forces began their withdrawal from the area after a major operation that had lasted nearly two days. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the soldier, a non-commissioned officer from the elite Egoz commando unit, received immediate medical treatment at the scene before being transferred to an Israeli hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The soldier’s identity has not yet been released. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said the soldier was shot while securing the initial phase of the military’s withdrawal from Jenin. The incident is under investigation to determine whether the soldier was hit by Palestinian gunfire or “friendly fire” from other Israeli forces present in the area.
