ISM co-founder and Free Gaza leader Huwaida Araff tweeted:

Here's the photo:


It was promptly retweeted by a couple of dozen people.

However, like many of these stories, it is a lie.

As AFP reports from Awarta:

Israeli soldiers also put out a fire in a nearby field lit by a number of Palestinians, a military spokesperson said. Palestinian witnesses confirmed there had been a fire but said it was started accidentally.

There was another bogue story from Awarta yesterday, but it was so absurd that AFP didn't bother mentioning it.

Palestinian Arabs accused Jews of releasing wild pigs again, injuring a woman harvesting olives.

I'm surprised Araff didn't tweet that as well.

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 19 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
