https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/21507-palestinian-girl-shot-by-jewish-settler-in-east-jerusalemThe girl was seriously wounded in the incident while the Jewish settler sustained moderate injuries, Israeli media reported.
According to Israeli police, the girl was shot by the settler near the Old Citys Al-Sbat Gate, after which she was taken to Jerusalems Hadassah Medical Center.
Palestinian eyewitnesses, however, told Anadolu Agency that girl - who, they said, had not been holding a knife - was attacked for no reason by the Jewish settler.

Palestinian teen who stabbed an Israeli man in a terror attack Wednesday wrote of her desire to become a shahid, or martyr, hours before carrying out the knifing.
Im going to become a shahid [martyr], 18-year-old Shorouq Dwayyat wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday morning.
In the post, Dwayyat, a resident of East Jerusalems Tsur Baher neighborhood and a student at Bethlehem University, wrote:
Mother: Where are you going?
Mother, I am going to become a shahid
Mother, I want to ask a request of you
Dont cry about me, when I become a shahid
#Our greatest desire is to become shadids for Allah
Dwayyat was evacuated in critical condition to Jerusalems Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem after being shot by the Israeli man she stabbed in the back near the entrance to Jerusalems Old City Wednesday morning.

(6,171 posts)I can imagine that a lot of teenagers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank are caught up in the current situation, and that it manifests itself in posts like hers.
I've also noticed that recently there has been a general uncritical acceptance of the term "terrorist" whenever a Palestinian is involved in violence. It's actually conceivable that it's not always the Palestinian who is at fault. In this case, we have conflicting accounts of what happened. I'll be damned if I accept Israeli official sources, as they lie all the time. I can't trust the Palestinian eyewitnesses either who say that the settler started it.
Hopefully, we'll know what happened, eventually...
