Beit Ummar tragedy

So I'm back at the Hebron apartment. I was kind of disappointed to learn I'm going to the orphanage tonight instead of sleeping in my "own" bed (interesting how fast things can become "home" here.) Marius and Tarek appear to be all right. As is the case with lots of stories here, we initially got some details wrong with the killing in Beit Ummar. It was a 17 year old boy, not a 13 year old, and one report has him painting the house with his father and another has him throwing stones. Marius said that Beit Ummar elders intervened pretty forcefully. Crap. Gotta go to the orphanage.
