Studies show that US coverage is Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, Associated Press, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region. Below are news reports to augment mainstream coverage.

Israeli soldiers seize one, injure another in overnight incidents

Ma'an
Israeli soldiers invaded the West Bank village of Sa’ir, near the city of Hebron, early on Sunday and abducted one man.

According to local Palestinian sources, the soldiers seized Fahim Al-Shalaldeh, 37, after raiding and searching his house.

Separately, medics at Beit Jala Government Hospital in Bethlehem said that that another man from the same village, called Jad Abdul Rahman, was wounded in an apparently unrelated incident. The medics said Jad Abdul Rahman arrived at the hospital after Israeli soldiers threw a stun grenade at him at the Zayem checkpoint in East Jerusalem.
