    Nnno, he was shot with an (intentionally) misleadingly named munition while being gassed out of cover, and put into critical condition because of it. He wasn’t shot with what you could nebulously call a “live round”. That awkward to articulate distinction is the probable reason for the headline in question. I’m not sure what part of that wasn’t explicit or clear.

    FWIW, I’ve been unable to find out if he died from the injury, though I wouldn’t be surprised if he did - Israeli baton rounds are notoriously brutal, even by ‘rubber bullet’ standards.
