On 19 October 2024, local protestors attacked MBC's offices in Baghdad after the channel aired a report labeling Palestinian militants as "terrorists." The crowd, numbering between 400 and 500, vandalized the premises, damaging equipment and igniting a fire before police intervened. An Iraqi law maker criticized the broadcast and pledged to push for the cancellation of MBC's license in Iraq.[4]
