Facebook has set up a 24/7 team dedicated to monitoring posts about Israel and Palestine as violence continues to escalate in the region.
"This operations centre allows us to closely monitor the situation so we can remove content that violates our community standards faster while also addressing possible errors in enforcement," Monika Bickert, Facebook's vice president of content policy, told reporters on a conference call.
The social media company faced criticism when posts related to the al-Aqsa Mosque were removed by Instagram, which it owns.
