Secondly, it uses quotes from Palestinian health officials to describe the injuries sustained in attacks on al-Mughayyir village without disclosing who attacked them. This is deceptive as there are no indications that these were terrorist attacks but rather violent clashes between Israeli settlers and Palestinians. Thirdly, it describes the actions of Israeli troops as 'delaying' an ambulance carrying a body for burial which implies they had control over when he was buried. This is deceptive as there are no indications that this was anything other than a routine process following his death. Finally, it uses quotes from Hamas to describe their efforts to ignite violence in the West Bank without disclosing who else may have been involved or what they were trying to achieve.
