TL;DR

Right-wing activist Dvir Lugar accuses left-wing MK Matan Kahana (The Democrats) of inventing a story about a girl who failed a test and was shot 41 times by soldiers, claiming the real event was a 2015 'scissor attack' by two Palestinian girls in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market. Lugar frames the accusation as a defense of former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot.
