A pro-Palestinian group has claimed responsibility for vandalising the BBC’s headquarters with red paint on Friday night over the broadcasting house’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.

The incident came as the war entered the eighth day, with thousands of Israelis and Palestinians killed.

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter on Saturday, Palestine Action said their activists had sprayed the BBC “in blood red paint,” claiming it symbolises the BBC’s “complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people through biased reporting.”
