"fired in self-defense after they were attacked with rocks by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters.” is the real headline, but the AP goes with some guys uncle who literally admitted he didn’t even witness the confrontation.
That is the settlers’ unsubstantiated claims, alongside the uncle’s unsubstantiated one. Considering that no one else saw these “dozens” of people when the shooting happened in an olive field in a Palestinian town that the settlers had no reason to be at in the first place.
So, multiple questions are raised. Why did the settlers even go here? Why were they armed? The people living there clearly weren’t armed.
What were armed Israelis doing 50km inside the internationally recognized territory of Palestine in the first place? These were not innocent civilians enjoying a music festival or resting in their lawful home, so who started this particular confrontation is immaterial.

He was attacked by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters and ended up shooting the one guy harvesting olives on his land?
Also, why was he even there with a gun in the first place?
To create a situation where he’d need to “defend himself”.
It’s giving Rittenhouse
