HR Prompts Temple Mount Correction in International Business Times

As tensions on the Temple Mount continue, so does the misreporting. Considering the volatile situation, any suggestion that Israeli forces have actually entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque (they haven’t) are inflammatory.

Yet, the International Business Times wrote the following:

According to witnesses on the ground, Israeli police entered the mosque shortly before 7am local time on 28 September via the al-Maghareba entrance.

Following an email from HonestReporting pointing out the implications of confusing the mosque with the far larger Temple Mount compound itself, the IBT promptly published the following correction:

Thank you to the IBT for correcting the error.
