The voting was carried out amid a sweep by Israel's security forces in the West Bank. About 400 people suspected of being militants have been detained in the last several days. In one raid yesterday, Israeli soldiers shot dead three militants during shooting exchanges near the town of Jenin, the Israeli military said.
As I noted in a previous post of mine, an Israeli soldier was injured in that incident.
Although it is noted that there were "shooting exchanges", the lack of noting an Israeli soldier being wounded leaves the reader with the impression that was one of those arrest raids the world press loves to blame Israel for stirring up a peaceful Arab village by bursting unwelcome into cafes or other recreational sites to interrupt normal life patterns among the population.
I really do think someone, Greg or his editor, should have included that fact by writing something akin to "in the exchange, an Israeli soldier was wounded".
