"I love my mother!" Nablus terrorist said. Awww.

One of the targets that Israel attempted to arrest in Nablus yesterday, Hussam Aslim of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades,  went on Facebook live to tell the world that he was about to be "martyred" rather than allow himself to be taken alive. 

In his final message, he included his love for his mother.

Naturally, that became a headline in Palestinian media. 

The Palestinian Health Ministry also originally said that Tamer Nimer Ahmed Minawi, 14, was killed in Nablus. It turns out he was 31.

An eleventh "martyr" was added late Wednesday: a 66 year old man was said to have died from tear gas inhalation. While this is possible, it is unlikely: tear gas is designed to hurt but not to kill. While Palestinians have falsely claimed a number of victims of tear gas "suffocation" over the years, in reality people dying from tear gas that was shot in an open area is very rare. 

Additionally, Palestinian officials like to attribute natural deaths to Israel when possible. In January 2009, during the Gaza war, there is evidence that many of the supposed victims of the war in fact died of natural causes - 400 are expected to die every month in Gaza.

As usual, the media doesn't bother to do the investigation to find out the truth.
