Breaking News:
Conflicting reports about killing of unarmed Palestinian by soldiers near Ramallah
The IDF said Eyad Zakaria Hamed, 38, was running towards an IDF guard post so they shot him dead. However, Maan noted that the initial reports from Hebrew media said the suspect had opened fire from inside a vehicle, and that a woman might have been inside the car with him. Witnesses told Maan that Hamed was shot and critically injured while inside his vehicle. The IDF said no weapons were found on him and that none of the soldiers were injured. (Ynet and Maan)

Quote of the day:

“Routine. There is no contradiction between “nobody was hurt” and ‘the terrorist was killed.’ Only Jews can be hurt. An update followed: ‘The Kfir squad commander, who saw the terrorist throw a firebomb at an IDF pillbox in Silwad, shot and killed him. Nobody was hurt.’ Now the shooting had turned into ‘a firebomb.’ A short time later, it was reported: ‘Apparently, he was mentally unstable. A search on his body resulted with no findings.’ In other words, murder.
--Haaretz’s Gideon Levy writes how Israeli media accepts IDF reports as fact and how Israelis view the killing of a Palestinian within the conflict.
