The death of Mohammad Mubarak

What we know: Mohammad Mahmoud Mubarak, 22, was shot and killed, on Wednesday January 29, 2014 close to the Ein Senia village, north of Ramallah. after he began began shooting at Israelis.  Troops had returned fire, hitting him.

"We will continue to protect Israeli civilians from acts of terrorism like this," said army spokesman Peter Lerner, in apparent reference to an attack on settlers.

According to The "International Middle East Media Center",

The young Palestinian man was not armed, was not protesting, was not obstructing traffic, he was working, wearing clearly marked clothes, he was a flagger directing traffic while repairs were being conducted on the road.  

Ummm. No.

Whats that gun-like object near Mohammad Mubarak's body, originally published at Ma'an?   Maybe a close-up, via our friends at Israellycool will help.

Clearly marked clothing?  I don't think so. 

Yet as far as that story is from reality, its stellar reporting compared to this, from  "The News Informer", whose headline identifies  Mubarak as a "teen"



Israeli  Terrorists soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man near the Ramallah village of Ein Siniya on Wednesday.

A Ma’an reporter identified the victim as Muhammad Mahmoud Mubarak, 22, from al-Jalazun refugee camp.

Israeli forces in the area denied Palestinian ambulances access to the body before medics were eventually allowed to transfer the man to Ramallah Medical Complex.

A Palestinian official in the military liaison department told Ma’an that Mubarak, a shepherd, was shot dead by a soldier positioned in a military watchtower.


Sadly, even mainstream media outlets botched this story, too

Later in the day, a Facebook posting from an advisor to the PA president described Mubarak as “a Martyr in the battlefield”:


“With the most exalted expressions of honor and pride and with symbols of Jihad and resistance, we part with piety from our heroic Martyr (Shahid) Muhammad Mahmoud Mubarak from the resolute Jalazone refugee camp, who ascended to Heaven as a Martyr in the battlefield while challenging the Zionist enemy.”
 
Here are some of the photographs previously posted by Mohammed Mubarak on his Facebook account:

Nice Try. These photos came from Ma'an, a Palestinian source, and he was heralded as a martyr who died while "Challenging the Zionist enemy"
