"MR. MCCORMACK: Is that about what happened in Tulkarm?
QUESTION: Yeah.
MR. MCCORMACK: Well, we think that -- right now, we're trying to get a clearer picture of what happened in Tulkarm. Certainly we, as we have said before, Israel has a right to defend itself. As I said, also, we are trying to get a clearer picture of what actually happened in Tulkarm."
