Stop the presses. The AP has identified two of the three victims of the Palestinian terrorist attack. Of course, their identities are buried deep within the story, instead of in the lead, as they would be if they were Arab victims of an errant IDF shell, but hey—at least they’re finally named.
Three people were killed and 45 were injured, including two babies.
The mother of one of the babies hurled the child out of the car window to save her as the attacker bore down on their vehicle, and the mother was also injured. The mother of the other baby, Batsheva Unterman, 33, was killed in the assault. Social workers appeared on TV frantically trying to locate the child’s father.
A second dead woman was identified as Elizabeth Goren-Friedman, 54, a dual Austrian-Israeli citizen who had lived in Israel for several years, the Austrian Foreign Ministry said. The third victim was a man.
What next? Putting the names of the killed in the lead?
Naaah. Too much to ask, humanizing Israelis like that.
