If you read the New York Times article in question you’d see they didn’t actually get the facts on the ground wrong.
They reported that a Palestinian official claimed that Israel bombed a hospital. This report was factually correct, but the claim was a lie.
It was bad journalism for other reasons - the headline didn’t emphasise the uncertainty, and it wasn’t wise to publish the official’s claim when they knew so little about the facts on the ground. But they said nothing factually incorrect.
They made no claim themselves about what Israel did, and the official said what they said he said.
