Palestinian medics say IDF troops killed doctor in Nablus

Israel Defense Forces soldiers killed a Palestinian doctor as he tried to help wounded protesters in the West Bank on Friday, witnesses and medics said.

The doctor had stopped to help three protesters after they were wounded in a clash with soldiers in the city of Nablus. He was killed by IDF gunfire, witnesses said. Palestinian medics later confirmed his death.

An IDF spokesman said troops shot at the demonstrators, who threw rocks and petrol bombs at the forces.

Palestinian medics said the doctor died from shrapnel wounds, saying the man was hit by an artillery shell.

The IDF denied firing artillery shells in the area.

2. Very, very few Americans care in the least.

Most are completely cold-hearted to the carnage inflicted on Arab and Muslim people.
