    English translation via google translate, so just keep that in mind.

    According to the army statement, forces operating in the Hebron area “felt that a vehicle was accelerating towards them. An IDF soldier responded with a single shot at the vehicle. As a result, three Palestinians were injured and evacuated for medical treatment.” However, the grandmother’s version explicitly contradicts the army’s claim. According to her, the family was driving near Checkpoint 17, and when she saw military vehicles and soldiers in the distance, she stopped the car. Only then did fire open on them. “At first we thought these were warning shots,” she said.

    “The bullet hit my grandson and his mother, and another bullet hit the father’s hand, his finger,” she described. “It went through his face and hit his mother’s cheek. His mother is here, sleeping. This is what is happening to us. It’s unbelievable. It’s unbelievable that we continue to live in these conditions.”

    Fucking lying ass fascist baby killers. No country has the right to do this.

      Lying is not the problem here.
