Daily Mail Corrects “Settlement” Error

The Daily Mail's Mail Online incorrectly states that terrorist Samir Kuntar murdered Israelis "in a settlement." HonestReporting gets the correction.

The Daily Mail’s coverage of the death of notorious terrorist Samir Kuntar contained a glaring error in its sub-header:

As confirmed within the text of the article itself, Kuntar committed his heinous murders in the northern coastal city of Nahariya and not “in a settlement” as stated in the sub-header.

HonestReporting contacted Mail Online and the error has since been corrected.
