Boy dressed up as terrorist stirs panic in Ashdod

A 15-year-old Ashdod resident who said he was researching citizens’ reactions upon encountering a masked gunman was seized by gun-wielding police officers on Monday.

Only after apprehending the teen did the officers realize he was not a suicide bomber. 

The hooded teen, with binoculars hanging from his neck, stirred panic when he arrived at an area near the city’s “Kalaniyot Mall” dressed in his father’s fatigues and carrying a toy gun and a large rucksack. 

The teen, who was taken into custody on suspicion of impersonating a soldier and disturbing the peace, said “I just wanted to get an A+ on my research paper.” 

(Funny, but the article doesn’t say whether the kid was a Jew or not, but I assume he is. For the Israeli press “Jew” must be the default identity, the way “white” is in American papers.)
