Corrections & Amplifications

A Page One article on Tuesday about the Israel-Hamas war quoted Maj. Nir Dinar, a spokesman for the Israeli military, who on Monday said in response to reports that an Israeli tank had fired on a taxi: “The [Israel Defense Forces] was not shown any proof that this is a civilian car and there’s no information on who is inside….Terrorists use civilian infrastructure like cars.” However, on Tuesday, the Israeli military said that Dinar misspoke. In a statement, the military said it “does not operate under the assumption that anyone who approaches is a combatant and have [sic] clear orders to verify, by all means available in the field, that a potential threat or combatant is not a civilian prior to opening fire.” In regard to the shots fired at the car, the statement said, “The circumstances are unclear and the video footage does not give a full picture of the tactical environment nor the circumstances preceding the incident.”

The Transportation Department’s inspector general’s office in July issued a report that examined how the Federal Aviation Administration handles pilots who report mental-health conditions. A U.S. News article in some editions Thursday about pilots’ mental health incorrectly attributed the report to the FAA.
