During Operation Epic Fury (U.S.) / Roaring Lion (Israel), BBC America—anchored by Caitriona Perry—has systematically avoided showing any meaningful images of damage, injuries, or deaths inside Israel from Iranian missile and rocket barrages.
Instead, it has aired daily, graphic footage from Lebanon of the aftermath of Israeli strikes, even though Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli civilians escalated from early March onward.
Only today (3.19.26), for literally a split second, did the network flash any Israeli impact at all: amid weeks of massive Iranian barrages raining down on residential areas across the country—including the killing of four Arab Palestinian women yesterday by falling debris—the coverage briefly showed debry striking a refinery in Haifa. BBC immediately framed it as “just” a “retaliation” for Israel hitting Iranian gas facilities, stripping out the context of the relentless, unprovoked Iranian assault on Israeli civilians.
This selective omission and loaded framing isn’t journalism—it’s editorialising.

Israel restricts release of images of missile damage. Their military apparently considers giving BDA to their enemies.
That’s why you rarely see any footage or images of war damage in Israel anywhere. It’s not just the BBC.
You can do an internet search on it.
You’re right. But, still, there are clips all over:

Yet, BBC did show today the Haifa clip.
