Two photos of the same man carrying the same Palestinian boy into a hospital, with a very conspicuous head bandage and red smears on his hands, but no apparent obvious injuries.

And two different names and ages for the boy. (Hat tip: Nancy.)

Ten-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Faqih is brought into Rafidiyeh hospital in Nablus after he was shot in the head when Israeli troops opened fire at stone-throwers in the northern West Bank village of Beit Umrin, 20km north of Nablus. Palestinian security sources said an Israeli army jeep entered the village just as the school day finished and a group of children began throwing stones at them, the soldiers opened fire, hitting the 10-year-old boy in the head, they said.(AFP/Jaafar Ashtiye)
