RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- A 22-year-old youth on Friday succumbed to wounds sustained during an Israeli military raid on Qalandiya refugee camp south of Ramallah, making him the second Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces since the morning.

Mustafa Hosni Aslan was shot in the head by Israeli forces when they raided the camp before dawn on Friday, one of three Palestinians wounded in the camp.

After being taken to Ramallah Governmental Hospital he was subsequently moved to Jerusalem's Hadassah hospital earlier in the day, and he was pronounced dead by Israeli medical officials there just after noon.

His death was announced in Qalandiya refugee camp only hours after it had been announced that he was injured, not killed, leading to a state of shock for many residents upon hearing the news.

1. The missing Israeli children are at least probably still alive and, no, still no outrage over this..

3. No, and sadly there won't be. n/t

4. Well there's no hasbarista that will be

shedding a tear over their deaths. More likely some will call their deaths a fakery while others will say that they somehow deserved their death.

Others, IMHO, probably are laughing it up as I write this.

7. Why would they deny it?

It's not exactly a contested point. Nor am I laughing over it, but I do understand why it happened. What I don't understand is your insistence on equating the unprovoked kidnapping of three teenagers with the killing of a man as he was engaged in "clashing with soldiers."

From the article...

Israeli forces confirmed the raid and the shooting, saying that they responded with live fire after a grenade was thrown at Israeli forces in the camp.

Is such a response truly unreasonable sounding to you?

8. Is such a response truly unreasonable sounding to you?

When it comes from the IDF you bet ya.

9. Unsurprising.

You assign blame not on "what" but rather on "who." What is kinda surprising is your candid admission of it.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. It's a candid admission that the IDF apparently are trigger happy:

shoot first and forget about it later.

2. This is a very sad story.

Occupation is not good for anybody.
