Last Wednesday every news agency in the world carried a story that a 9-year old Palestinian boy had been shot in the head and killed by the IDF, quoting “Palestinian medical sources:” Palestinian boy shot dead by Israelis in Gaza.

Today the Palestinian Authority has been forced to admit that the boy was killed by his own brother—and his father helped cover up the crime, hoping to get a martyr payoff from the terror gangs: Boy shot in Rafah by brother. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

Palestinian Authority has admitted that IDF troops were not responsible for Thursday’s killing of a 9 year-old boy on Thursday in Rafah, accusing instead his brother.

Earlier, the PA had accused Israeli troops of shooting the boy, but IDF sources say that there were no troops in the area.

The IDF has speculated that the boy’s father put blame on the Israelis in order to receive funds from one of the terror organizations, such as Hamas.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Reuters, AP, and AFP to correct their scandalous willingness to believe and report the words of many-times-proven liars.
