From AJ Plus:
The teenager was identified as Fadil Qawasmi, 18. His death came less than two hours before a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in occupied East Jerusalem. According to Middle East Eye, “Qawasmi was the 38th Palestinian to be killed since the start of the month in Israel and occupied Palestinian territory, while seven Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in the same time period.”

You don't overthrow Islamic revolutions with car headlights. And definitely not with candles.
