some days there's more to report on the 'most moral democracy' in the mideast, than others;

Israeli soldiers shot Odeh Mohammad Odeh in the chest as he played with a group of friends. Odeh is the 16th Palestinian teenager to be killed by Israeli fire this year. So far, approximately 60 Palestinians and 17 Israelis have been killed in 2022.

Below are two reports on the killing of Odeh Mohammad Odeh (some reports use the spelling Odeh Mohammed Odeh, or the name Odeh Mohammad Odeh Sadaqa). As the incident is very recent and information is still unfolding, details in the two reports vary slightly.
