It was a tragic event as Simcha Chodotov z”l was killed near the Jerusalem Central Bus Station, mistaken for a terrorist. Simcha was a veteran of the IDF, serving in Nachal Chareidi, and a former talmid of Yeshivas Dvar Yerushalayim in Har Nof.
Simcha was shot and killed in the Romeima area of the capital in October 2015 two when he was believed to be a terrorist. The tragedy occurred on a number 69 bus from Har Nof to Romeima when two soldiers boarded and Chodotov asked one of them to show ID. He feared they were dressed as soldiers since their uniforms were not exactly as they should have been. A dispute broke out and the passengers and driver sided with the soldiers, as the driver used a taser on Chodotov and another security agent fired at him followed by gunfire from a soldier, killing him. during the confrontation shouts of “terrorist” were heard from passengers.
The family has now filed a multi-million-shekel lawsuit against parties involved. No additional details are available at this time.

Spellcheck ?
Please clarify. The headline contradicts the last line of the article
Not filed ?
And why wasn’t criminal charges filed? Is only an Israeli soldier that killed an Arab terrorist charged? And then you wonder why the American Jews think Israel is a kangaroo country.
Headline says they are suing last paragraph says they have not which is right?
“The family has not filed”
I’m guessing this should read:
“The family has NOW filed”
the second to last sentence should probably read “The family has noW… (instead of not)
Make up your mind.
Headline
“Family Of Guard Killed As A Mistaken Terrorist Suing For Millions”
End of article
“The family has not filed a multi-million-shekel lawsuit against parties involved”
Filed or not filed?
The title of this article says the family is suing, but the next to last line of the article itself says the opposite.
So, which is it?
My head is spinning from trying to read this article.
Very very sloppy
r u kidding me??? a jewish person was KILLED and all anyone can think about is that the article was written incorrectly?? WOW. just WOW.
Looks like a cut abd paste off a poorGoogle translate.
