Israeli inquiry says film of Muhammad al-Dura's death in Gaza was staged 20.5.2013 The Guardian -- Front Page
Report says video of 12-year-old cowering with his father amid a gun battle shows no evidence he was killed by Israeli fire A film of a 12-year-old boy crying and cowering beside his father as a gun battle raged around them in Gaza has been challenged by an official Israeli report that suggests that the entire event may have been staged. The images, which became a symbol of the second intifada , contain no evidence that the child was injured or killed by Israeli fire, a committee of inquiry into television coverage of the death of Muhammad al-Dura concluded. But the committee's conclusions were rejected by France 2, the French public television channel that broadcast the report, its reporter Charles Enderlin, and the boy's father, Jamal al-Dura. All said they were ready to co-operate with an independent international investigation into the incident, and Enderlin and Dura added they were willing to undergo polygraph tests. The image of father and son crouched behind a barrel as bullets ...

Israel assassinates Palestinian 'bomb-maker' as Jewish settler knifed to death 30.4.2013 The Guardian -- Front Page
First targeted killing by Israel this year and death of hardline settler likely to frustrate US efforts at restarting peace talks Violence erupted Tuesday in both Gaza and the West Bank, with the assassination by Israel of a militant bomb-maker and the killing of a Jewish settler, actions which are likely to complicate a drive by the United States to bring both sides back to negotiations after a four-year impasse. The targeted killing of Hitham Masshal, 24, described by Israel as a "global jihad-affiliated terrorist", in an airstrike in northern Gaza risked fracturing the ceasefire in place since the end of the eight-day conflict last November. It was the first assassination since Egypt brokered a truce to end last year's violence. In the West Bank, clashes followed the stabbing to death of Eviatar Borovzky, 30, as he waited for a bus. Large numbers of Israeli security forces were deployed amid fears that the killing could trigger widespread confrontations. The renewed violence is ...

West Bank tense after settler stabbing 30.4.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Fatal attack on settler near Nablus occurs at around same time that Israeli air strike kills alleged terrorist in Gaza Large numbers of Israeli security forces have been deployed in the West Bank after an Israeli settler was stabbed to death by a Palestinian amid fears that the killing could trigger widespread confrontations. Eviatar Borovzky, 30, a father of five children and a part-time security guard at the hardline settlement of Yitzhar, near Nablus, died of his wounds at the scene of the attack. His assailant snatched the settler's gun and shot at nearby border police. They returned fire, wounding the Palestinian, who was detained and taken to hospital in Israel. Confrontations between militant settlers and Israeli security forces in the West Bank were reported following the attack. Two Palestinian school buses were stoned by settlers, while others set fire to tyres and olive groves, the Palestinian official Ghassan Daghlas told the news agency Ma'an.

Israeli air strike kills Gaza motorcyclist 30.4.2013 The Guardian -- Front Page
Israel military says it killed Haitham Mishal, a 'key terror figure' and jihadi militant involved in Eilat rocket attack An Israeli aircraft attacked a motorcyclist in Gaza on Tuesday, killing the rider and wounding two other people in the first deadly air strike in the Palestinian territory since a truce was reached with Palestinian militants last November. The Israeli military said the air strike killed Haitham Mishal, whom it identified as a jihadi militant involved in the 17 April rocket attack on the southern Israeli resort town of Eilat. But Ashraf al-Kidra, Gaza's health ministry spokesman, said Mishal was a Palestinian police officer. In a statement, the Israeli military said Mishal had been "a key terror figure, specialising in weapons and working with all of the terror organisations in the Gaza Strip". It said he manufactured weapons and sold rockets and explosive devices to militant groups. Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers engaged in eight days of heavy fighting ...
