Irish man killed, Irish woman injured, 9 year old child killed by Israeli soldiers in Jenin refugee camp.

A Senior Irish UN worker has been killed in Jenin refugee camp in a gun battle between IDF troops and Palestinian fighters. Caoimhe Butterly was also shot by Israeli solders while trying to help injured Palestinian children who had also been injured. A 9 year old palestinian chlid was also killed.
Caoimhe just spoke to Dubai TV where she said that the UN worker died because he was left for an hour before the occupying army would allow an ambulance through. He bled to death. Presumably her injuries are not very serious as she was able to give an interview.
She stressed that this story will only get attention because the person killed was an international. Palestinians are killed on an almost daily basis.
