A Palestinian security officer’s not-so practical joke got out of hand. YNet News explains what happened when a Jenin family was falesly told their son was shot and killed by Israeli police in Nazareth:
The family opened a mourners’ tent and the official Palestinian news agency WAFA even published an announcement . . . .
Much to the surprise of the Nazal family, Wednesday evening their “dead” son Majdi contacted them saying he was returning to Jenin after failing to find work in Israel.
The shocked family members, who were in the middle of mourning their son, rushed to tell comforting guests that he was still alive.
The news, however, did not reach the Fatah movement in time, and activists had already started a vehicle procession, and were mourning, through loudspeakers,the Fatah “martyr” who was killed in cold blood by Israeli police.
I wonder if this soon-to-be-ex-officer was one of those “unanmed Palestinian security sources” often quoted by the MSM.
