Does anyone believe this? It's totally implausible. I think the Israeli cop came across an assassin and got into a quick-draw situation and lost. And I think the fact and identity (if known by Israel) of the assassin(s) is being kept mum in order to avoid a WWI-type scenario. (Remember that? Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated and all hell broke loose. This is not a lesson lost on Israel or anyone else)

One of these days, it's not going to work. There won't be any way to keep it hush-hush.
