A January 1 Newsweek article described the incident as Ahed “assaulting
Israeli soldiers,” “threatening two Israeli soldiers and then hitting
them in the face,” “pushing the soldiers
as well as kicking them, hitting them in the face and throwing stones
at them.” The piece referred to Ahed’s actions as “assaults” and an
“attack.” It failed to report that Israeli soldiers had just shot and
severely injured her 14-year-old cousin.
