Hmmm.

(article is a mess of information jammed together)

A four-year-old American girl held by Hamas in Gaza was released on Sunday, President Joe Biden said, as the militant group said it had handed over 13 Israeli hostages, three Thais and one with Russian citizenship on the third day of a truce with Israel.

The killing of a Palestinian farmer in the central Gaza Strip had earlier added to concerns over the fragility of the truce. The farmer was killed when targeted by Israeli forces east of Gaza’s long-established Maghazi refugee camp, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

Violence flared in the West Bank where Israeli forces killed seven Palestinians, including two minors and at least one gunman, late on Saturday and early Sunday, medics and local sources said

Bit more information.

Police said the three were walking on Prospect Street when they were confronted by a white male with a handgun. The suspect was on foot in the area when he discharged at least four rounds from his pistol without speaking.

All three victims were struck, two in their torsos and one in the lower extremities.

Burlington Police have confirmed all three victims are of Palestinian descent.

They said two are US citizens and one is a legal resident, and two were wearing keffiyehs at the time of the assault.

Police say there is no additional information to suggest the suspect’s motive, such as statements or remarks by the suspect at this time.

The victims were transported to UVM Medical Center. Two victims are stable, while the other one has much more serious injuries.

Police haven’t identified a shooter, and nobody is in custody.

They have recovered ballistic evidence that will be submitted to the federal database and have conducted and are re-conducting neighborhood canvases and witness interviews.

Permanently excluding Palestinians mean 30,000 fewer farm laborers in Israel. Maybe don’t do that.

(And once again CNN won’t Onebox)

It was actually created by The Civil Front not Kan (Israel’s public broadcasting). They sent it to all the media stations and Kan published it before taking it down.

The Civil Front is run by shit stirrer Ofer Rosenbaum.

Taoiseach Vsradkar being lambasted for using poetic language to celebrate release of Irish-Israeli hostage, using the term “lost” in the sense of “feared gone forever”. Everyone knew she was a hostage and nobody is pretending otherwise.
