Journalist confirms man as known provocateur, disputes weapon used
Elhanan Gruner identified the man as Said al-Amour, describing him as a well-known provocateur in the area who had previously lost a leg after being shot while attacking security forces, and who Gruner says has repeatedly been sent by anarchist activists to stage provocations. According to al-Amour's own account, he was beaten with a plastic pipe, likely belonging to a shepherd, not a club.
