Arab boy supposedly killed in Land Day riots turns up alive

Here's something that, unlike the al-Durah hoax, is now being corrected very quickly:
Muhammad Farmawi, a 15-year-old said to have been shot dead by the IDF during Land Day riots in Gaza on Tuesday, was reported on Saturday to be alive and well.

The Palestinian Ma’an news agency said Farmawi’s mother was surprised to find her son alive four days after he was allegedly killed. His death had been confirmed by medical professionals in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF, however, firmly denied allegations that Palestinians had been killed during demonstrations on Land Day, which marks the 34th anniversary of the killing of six Galilee Arabs during protests against land confiscations.

According to the Ma’an report, Farmawi arrived in Gazan Rafah on Friday alive and well. He was discovered to be part of a group of 17 Palestinian youths who were arrested after trying to infiltrate Egypt via smuggling tunnels. Gaza police facilitated the boys’ return to their homes.
There's something mighty confusing here - medical pros "confirmed" his death? Wouldn't there have to be a real stiff in custody to verify this is true or not?

There should also be some criticism here of how these youngsters are endangering themselves all for the sake of nothing but hate. But there isn't.

G-d at work in the world. He's amused by headlines just like that one. If only someone had foreknowledge of Ha Kodesh Boruch Hu - people would be less apt to rush to proclaim judgment upon Israel!
