    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    This brings the number of Palestinians reported killed by settlers to seven since Hamas’s bloody incursion into Israel three weeks ago.

    Tayseer Mahmoud said his nephew, Bilal Saleh, was working in the grove in the village of Sawiya with his wife and their four children on Saturday when a group of settlers attacked them.

    Settler leader Yossi Dagan said in a video posted on the social media p(platform Facebook Saturday that the shooter was accompanied by family members and fired in self-defense after they were “attacked with rocks by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters.”

    The deadly shooting took place amid a spike in settler violence since Hamas militants infiltrated Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,400 Israelis and taking over 230 others hostage.

    In addition to the killings, Palestinians in the West Bank have reported attacks on people and property, as well as denial of access to their land.

    Since the outbreak of the war alone, more than 100 Palestinians, including civilians, have been killed, most during military arrest raids and violent protests in the West Bank.


    The original article contains 366 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 51%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      That is the settlers’ unsubstantiated claims, alongside the uncle’s unsubstantiated one. Considering that no one else saw these “dozens” of people when the shooting happened in an olive field in a Palestinian town that the settlers had no reason to be at in the first place.

      So, multiple questions are raised. Why did the settlers even go here? Why were they armed? The people living there clearly weren’t armed.

      He was attacked by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters and ended up shooting the one guy harvesting olives on his land?

      Why is that the real one? AP tool the parts that are true, a guy got shot dead and didn’t include any of the opinions / unproven claims

        Yeah, AP tends to stick to what is known.

        Let’s say a white cop kills a black man. Witnesses say that the black guy was peacefully walking down the side of the road and refused to stop when police tried to pull him over. The cops say the black guy was reaching for a weapon. There is video footage of the man trying to walk away from the police, but from the footage alone it’s not entirely clear whether or not he had a gun.

        Fox will report “man shot by police was fleeing and reaching for a gun”
        HuffPost will report “Walking While Black: White cop kills peaceful black man on the side of a road”
        AP will report “Man shot by police at [location]”

      What were armed Israelis doing 50km inside the internationally recognized territory of Palestine in the first place? These were not innocent civilians enjoying a music festival or resting in their lawful home, so who started this particular confrontation is immaterial.
