A Palestinian woman was killed on Friday after she allegedly attempted to run
over Israeli Border Police officers near the village of Silwad in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli police said in a statement that
a woman in a vehicle approached border guards in an area where clashes
were taking place. The forces opened fire when they saw the vehicle
approaching, immediately killing the driver.
Israeli
forces also shot dead a Palestinian and injured several others during
demonstrations in the Gaza Strip for the third Friday in a row, the Ministry of Health said. Hani Rafiq Wahdan, 22, was
shot in the head near the al-Shuj'ayyia neighborhood east of Gaza City, a
spokesperson for Gaza’s Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qidra, told
Ma’an. Nine others were hit by live fire.
Clashes broke
out between Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli forces across the Gaza
Strip, with four injured east al-Bureij refugee camp, including one
shot with live fire in the chest, al-Qidra said. Six others
were shot in the al-Faraheen area east of Khan Younis, and one
Palestinian was shot near the Erez crossing. Last
Friday, 20-year-old Mahmoud Muhammad Saed al-Agha was shot dead by
Israeli military forces in clashes near Khan Younis. One week aerlier Sami
Shawqi Madhi, 41, was also killed during a Friday demonstration in the
Strip. At least 138 Palestinians have been killed since Oct. 1, 21 of them in the Gaza Strip. The majority
was shot during demonstrations, and two -- a 2-year-old and her pregnant
mother -- killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home.
