Yes you are correct, that caption does read:
Israeli soldiers, top, fire tear gas canisters to disperse Palestinian youths during an anti-Israeli...
Once you click on the picture you can read the rest of the caption which continues:
...demonstration in the West Bank village of Iraq Burin, near the city of Nablus, Saturday, June 5, 2010. Israeli forces seized Saturday the Gaza-bound 1,200-ton Rachel Corrie aid ship without meeting resistance, preventing it from breaking the Israeli maritime blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory days after a similar effort turned bloody.
So the AP runs a photo from 2005 about Israeli troops in the village of Burin to highlight/accompany an article about Iranian troops crossing the Iraqi border! Do they even realize that Iraq and Iran are no where near Israel?
My 5th grader has a better grasp of geography than they do!
