Elder of Ziyon
Palestinian media is saying that a young man killed by Israel on Sunday night, Mohammad Ali Ghneim, was a soccer player for the Al-Khader club in Bethlehem.
They are saying that "this crime comes as a continuation of the crimes of the Israeli occupation against Palestinian sports that have been killing their players and destroying their facilities for years, in violation of the international standards and laws of the International Football Association FIFA."
What exactly happened? Times of Israel reports:
According to the Israeli army, soldiers who were carrying out an ambush near al-Khader identified a person throwing firebombs at an Israeli vehicle on the road that links the Etzion Bloc of settlements with Jerusalem.
“The soldiers shot at the suspect. A hit was identified,” the Israeli military said, adding that the firebombs endangered the occupants of the vehicle.
A Palestinian quoted in the article says that Ghneim was too far away to have thrown any firebombs. But other Palestinian media say that he was killed while "confronting Zionist forces."
Ghneim was also a former prisoner, meaning that he had participated in terror activities in the past.
The crowd outside his house after his death, carrying his body, don't look like they are mourning. They act like he was a military hero.
Put it all together, and - as in virtually all cases - the IDF version of events is much more plausible than that of Palestinians.
