Compensation will be paid by the BBC to the Horenstein family of Netiv Ha’asara after a BBC news team entered their private residence in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre.
The incident occurred in the days immediately following the attack, when a BBC crew that included International Editor Jeremy Bowen went into the family’s home without authorization, the broadcaster acknowledged.
According to a report by Jewish News, the BBC agreed to pay the family 120,000 shekels in compensation for the unauthorized entry.
Tzeela Horenstein described the experience in stark terms, saying, “Not only did terrorists break into our home and try to murder us, but then the BBC crew entered again, this time with a camera as a weapon, without permission or consent. It was another intrusion into our lives. We felt that everything that was still under our control had been taken from us.”
During the October 7 assault, the Horenstein family survived only because their door became jammed when terrorists attempted to blow it open with explosives. At the time the BBC crew entered the house, extended family members still did not know whether those inside had survived the attack.

The BBC and NPR are enemies of the people. They should be out out of business an banned from ever reorganizing.
