"Innocent victim" also enjoyed posing with guns

The Jerusalem Post reported last week:

A Palestinian who opened fire at Israeli troops on Wednesday evening near Ramallah was shot dead by the soldiers who returned fire.

The man, identified by the Palestinian Health Ministry as 26-year-old Mohammed Issa Abbas, shot at the troops who had entered the outskirts of Ramallah by vehicle.

The IDF said that troops had entered the city’s al-Bireh neighborhood to arrest a number of Palestinians who had approached the nearby Israeli settlement of Psagot. While it is unclear if Abbas was connected to the wanted suspects, he opened fire toward troops during the search.

Palestinian media is mostly treating Abbas as an innocent victim, noting that he was due to be married in three months and showing pictures of his fiancée mourning his body.

But other social media are treating him as a hero, and they have other photos of Abbas:

Any doubt that he shot first?
