Newsweek has published a piece, “West Bank Gun Battle Exposes Growing Resentment Towards Palestinian Authority.”  Jack Moore writes:

Unidentified Palestinian gunmen and Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces today became embroiled in one of their biggest gun battles in recent years in the northern West Bank city of Nablus…

Security sources told Palestinian outlet Maan News that three officers were injured in the shootout, which went on for several hours. Local police warned residents of the city to remain inside for safety reasons…

Security forces entering West Bank refugee camps is not an unusual occurrence, although residents often resist them by throwing stones or setting tires on fire. In November 2013 security forces exchanged fire with gunmen at Balata camp.

According to this article it was Palestinian Authority security forces shooting and injuring their own people.

So Newsweek, why is the only photo at the top of the article of Israeli soldiers?

Who reads down to see it was the PA forces who were shooting?
