(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - When Rina Shnerb, 17, was killed in a bomb explosion when her family was visiting the popular Ein Buvin spring in the West Bank on Aug. 23, the official Palestinian Authority news agency WAFA reported that "a female settler was killed and others injured near the Dolev settlement." Other Palestinian new editors and journalists called her a "soldier." In fact, Rina was born and raised in the central Israeli city of Lod near Ben-Gurion Airport, had never lived in the West Bank, and was too young to be in the IDF. Palestinian media has again engaged in a campaign of fabrications and lies to justify the murder of an innocent Jewish teenager.

When Palestinians fired three rockets at the Israeli city of Sderot in the Negev on Aug. 25, Palestinian media outlets reported that Sderot is a "settlement."
