UN Ambulances Used As Armed Terrorist Transports

On June 1 of this year I linked to a post at AE Brain about how armed Palestinian Terrorists had been caught on tape being transported by a UN ambulance in the middle of a firefight (a clear violation of the UN's purported role in armed conflicts). Well, it would appear that we have a similar situation on our hands here (via The Command Post):

IDF troops arrested three Palestinian suspects in the West Bank on Monday night, including a senior Tanzim official, who the army said tried to escape from authorities by traveling in an ambulance.

[...]

Faraj said he needed the ambulance because he was suffering from appendicitis, but according to the intelligence information that led to Faraj's arrest, he was using the ambulance as a way to escape from Israeli security forces.

Faraj was brought to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem (Jerusalem), for a medical check. He was then transferred to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.
Interesting. It seems that a pattern is developing. Why is this not splattered all over the evening news? If a UN ambulance were being used as a troop transport or an escape pod for Israeli troops or military leader you could bet the farm CNN would be running a 14-minute story ever quarter hour.

Just another example in a very long line of 1) UN dirtbag-ness and 2) Media bias.
