    … according to WAFA? Never heard of them, and their website looks like something from 20 years ago.

    I’d take this with a grain of salt.

      Wafa is a well known Palestinian news organization and I’ve been following their news reports for decades.

      WAFA is probably older than you.

      Pursuant to the decision adopted by the Palestinian National Council in its extraordinary session, held in Cairo in April 1972, the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Executive Committee issued a decision establishing the Palestinian News & Information Agency (WAFA) on June 5, 1972. WAFA was established as an independent body that was structurally, politically and administratively linked to the PLO Executive Committee with a mandate to confront the dominant Israeli propaganda at the time and serve as an independent platform to report events from the official Palestinian perspective without being subject to any trusteeship (guardianship) or subordination.
