Israeli forces shoot 10-year-old Palestinian in the head in Shufat

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian child was severely injured after Israeli forces opened fire on a car she was traveling in with family near the Shufat refugee camp checkpoint on Friday.

The shooting comes on a day of clashes with Israeli forces across the West Bank and follows the blinding of an 11-year-old Palestinian boy the day before in clashes in the nearby East Jerusalem village of al-Issawiya.

Mayar Amran Twafic al-Natsheh, 10, was riding in her grandfather's car with her mother, grandfather, and her sibling when a rubber-coated steel bullet smashed through the car's window and hit her in the face.

She was taken Hadassah hospital near al-Issawiya and medical sources said she suffered a fractured skull as a result of the attack.

The article content does not support the claim made in the headline.

And of course the article itself is up to the usual Ma'an standards of reporting.

There really is a critical need for a "972mag" type resource for the West Bank and Gaza that can be critical of the Palestinian side of the story and look for the truth even if does not support the agenda.

We all know about Maan and how it's definitly not to be taken seriously.

Once it penned a serious essay about the protocols of the elders of Zion.
Kinda like the National Enquirer type broadsheet.
