(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Jawaher Abu Rahma, the woman who Palestinians claimed was killed on Dec. 31 by IDF-fired tear gas during a demonstration, died as a result of the medical treatment she received at a Ramallah hospital, Brig.-Gen. Nitzan Alon, commander of the IDF's Judea and Samaria Division, said Friday.

Furthermore, she did not actively participate in the demonstration, but was inside a house about 500 meters away.
