To get the attention and affection of US media, the Israeli government now casually accueses Palestinians of throwing IEDs on them: how obvious is the propaganda lie?

"Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a senior spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said that “both incidents occurred during riots in which IEDs were directly hurled at Israeli soldiers who felt their lives were threatened and returned live fire.”"  How come we never heard of IEDs hurled at Israeli terrorist soldiers before?
