Killing of Raed Zeiter
Raed Zeiter, a Jordanian judge, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in 2014 at the Allenby Bridge crossing, an incident Israel later called a matter of regret. Through October 2023 the opening quoted Israeli soldiers stating he was a 'terrorist', asserting he had tried to snatch a weapon and attacked them with a metal pole. Today the word terror is gone from the article entirely, though the soldiers' account of the alleged weapon grab and pole attack survives. A reader arriving now learns what the soldiers said he did, not that they themselves used the word terrorist to describe him.
