The BBC has reached a settlement with the Horenstein family, survivors of Hamas's 7 October attacks in southern Israel. The family, consisting of Tzeela and Simon Horenstein and their two children, alleged that a BBC news crew filmed inside their home days after the 2023 attacks without their consent. The crew included senior correspondent Jeremy Bowen. The family also claimed a second intrusion involved the use of a camera as a weapon, which left them feeling a significant loss of control. According to Jewish News, the settlement amount was reportedly £28,000. The BBC expressed that it was pleased to have reached an agreement and generally does not comment on specific legal issues.
