| [IsraelTimes] Army says soldiers opened fire on group hurling Molotov cocktails at West Bank settlement of Beit El; three others reported hurt. Paleostinian teen was killed and three others were severely injured by IDF fire on a group of Paleostinians said to have been throwing Molotov cocktails in the central West Bank Thursday night. According to the army, soldiers opened fire on the group after they exited a car and began hurling Molotov cocktails at the settlement of Eli, near Ramallah. "Hits were confirmed. The vehicle then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace," the IDF said in a statement. The Paleostinian Ma’an news agency identified the fatality as Mohammed Mahmoud Ibrahim Hattab, 17. A picture of Hattab holding what appeared to be an assault rifle appeared on social media. Ma’an quoted Paleostinian health ministry sources who said the three others were being treated at death's door in a Ramallah hospital. According to reports, all four were hit in the head and chest. |

| #4 The NY TIMES headline will probably read "Unarmed Arab Teen Killed by Bloodthirsty IDF Troops". Really, the didn't have GUNS, so they were "unarmed". |
