The following is an update from Haaretz:
Two people were killed on Wednesday in a shooting incident in southern Tel Aviv. The police believe one of the victims shot the other and then committed suicide.
Both victims, apparently observant Jews, were in their 20s.
A Magen David Adom emergency medical team arrived at the scene following reports of a vehicle that had hit a bench. However, when the team arrived, they discovered the two victims sitting in their car, both of them suffering from several gunshot wounds.
One of the two victims was killed instantly and the other was in critical condition, and later succumbed to his wounds at the entrance to Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv.
Paramedic Ron Yitzhaki, who arrived first at the scene, told Haaretz that “we received a traffic accident call. When I got there I saw two young men, not breathing with no pulse, inside the vehicle. We removed both the victims from the vehicle and began resuscitation attempts.”
The police said that a gun was found in the vehicle along with the victims.

No were does it say that it was Charedim. Does it matter what they were ?
#2 — Yes, it most certainly does matter.
Please do not quote Haretz if the story involves “Charedim”. The paper is virulently anti-Charedi and will slip in anything to paint Charedim in a bad light. Nothing in the paramedic’s account supports the suicide allegation.

Look at the headline, which clearly mentions “Hareidi”.
#3 Jews are Jews. Hareidi, Charadei, Chassidish, Hassidish, Sefardi, Dati, Chiloni. A Jew is a Jew. And everybody who knows the definition of the word Chareidi will agree that there is a Lav – Lo Sirtzach. One who murders another is not religeous, never mind Chareidi. So Haaretz is simply giving out information based on their ignorance. Don’t believe everything you read in newspapers or on the internet for that matter. Haaretz is not the only misinformed media outlet. The question is, is there any news outlet that you can believe 95% of what you read or hear?
