The New York Times’ Manhattan office building was vandalized Wednesday morning with red paint. 

The words “NYT lies Gaza dies” were written in white paint on the windows. 

The Jerusalem Post reported that this act of vandalism came after The Times amended its article Tuesday regarding starvation in Gaza. It was amended to include that a child mentioned in the article also had a preexisting medical condition that affects his appearance. 

“We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition,” reads a NYT post on X. “After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.”
