What Was the Palestinian Teen Doing in the Midst of a Firefight?

(JNS) Ruthie Blum - Palestinian teen Jana Zakarneh's presence next to an armed terrorist during a firefight with the Israeli military raises serious questions about her degree of involvement. Initial investigations indicate that she regularly served as a photographer for gunmen in her neighborhood. And cellphone footage from her camera isn't the only evidence. Her grieving uncle told one media outlet that his niece had been at home when the sound of gunshots overhead spurred her to race to the roof. Most young girls would not have responded to the noise of gunfire by rushing to get in on the action. It's puzzling that no adult blocked her exit from the apartment under the circumstances. During the incident, Palestinian residents of the area hurled rocks, firebombs and explosives at Israeli soldiers from the rooftops. The soldier who ended up shooting Zakarneh was simply doing his extremely difficult, dangerous job - in pitch darkness. Had the young woman not been next to the terrorist, filming the exchange to post on social media for propaganda purposes, she would still be alive. And now her family will be rewarded with a generous monthly stipend from the PA.
