1. NETZARIM, ISRAEL: THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE TRAGIC FOOTAGE
Television stations around the world have shown footage of a young
Palestinian boy Mohamed Ad-dura cowering behind his father only moments before being killed
by "Israeli" bullets. 
Contrary to the insinuations, however, the Israeli troops could not see the two,
and in fact could not see who was responsible for the shooting
coming at them from behind a barrier. [See the map bellow]

While it is known that the boy and his father found themselves
amidst crossfire, it has still not been ascertained whether Israeli
or Palestinian bullets killed the boy. 

Acting Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami and IDF generals decried
the "cynical use made by the Palestinians of women and children
by placing them in the front lines." 
CNN reported today that the boy's mother "lured him away
from the ranks of young stone-throwers by telling him
to accompany his father [on an errand]," and that
"the slain boy's relatives freely acknowledged that he often
joined other children from the camp in throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers."

2. ARABS REMOVE VICTIMS, TORCH AMBULANCES
The Jerusalem manager of Israel's Red Cross, Magen David Adom, reports that
Arabs attacked not only ambulances that entered the Old City to treat Jews,
but even those that came to treat Arabs. 

Yonatan Yagodovsky says that four medics were hurt when
Arabs hurled stones into one ambulance near Lion's Gate,
as the medics were giving aid near the Temple Mount on Friday. 

Yagodovsky says Arabs realized that the medics were treating other
Arabs, because the mob took the victims out of the ambulances before
attacking with stones.  Then the Arabs burned the ambulance completely. 
In all, two mobile intensive care units and five ambulances were stoned.  See
