| [IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian youth who was maimed during an Israel Defense Forces arrest operation near Jenin departed this vale of tears on Monday, according to the Paleostinian Health Ministry. He was identified as 17-year-old Mohammad Zakarneh. The Paleostinian Health Ministry said he was maimed in his pelvis during Sunday’s incident. According to Paleostinian health officials, Zakarneh was struck by an expanding bullet — a particularly lethal type of round — and eventually died of severe blood loss. According to the IDF, the soldiers entered the area, in the northern West Bank, in order to arrest two brothers of Ra’ad Hazem, the terrorist who killed three Israelis in a terror attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday. The military said it shot Zakarneh after he fired at the soldiers from a passing cycle of violence. |

| #3 Short answer to #1: No. Most bullets expand, but there are things you can do to make them expand more effectively. Sometimes you really don't want a bullet to expand (dangerous game hunting, armor-piercing) and then you go to lengths to design that behavior. |

| #1 struck by an expanding bullet Isn't there a convention against hollow points? Maybe only in war. |
