`Uday Irsheid's 17-year old sister, Dania, was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Hebron on 25 October. She was shot dead after police officers allegedly saw "a knife in her hand." No Israelis were injured during the incident.A witness told Ma'an at the time that he saw a schoolgirl with a schoolbag on her back trying to cross the Israeli checkpoint near the Ibrahimi mosque." An Israeli soldier asked her to take the knife out of her bag, then she was immediately fired upon. "Seconds later the schoolgirl was lying on the ground bleeding," the witness said.
Following an investigation into several cases of Palestinian deaths, Amnesty International found that Dania's killing was "absolutely unjustified" and called for Israel to end its "pattern of unlawful killings."
The other man, who was hot dead in Halhul, was killed an alleged attempted car ramming attack, Israel's army said. According to an Israeli army spokesperson ''the Israeli forces responded to the imminent threat and opened fire, killing the man.'' No Israelis were injured in the alleged attempted attack.The Palestinian has been identified as the 55 year old Omar al-Hroub from Deir Samit village in western Hebron.
Hebron has become the epicenter of violence over the last two months, as roughly 30 percent of the now 121 Palestinians to be killed since Oct. 1 were from the Hebron district.

Israeli forces have arrested a Palestinian allegedly responsible for Thursday's car ramming attack near the illegal Israeli settlement of Beit Aryeh-Ofarim in the Salfit district, which injured four Israeli soldiers. An Israeli army spokesperson said Muhammad Abdelhalim Abdel al-Hamid Salem, 37, was detained overnight Thursday in a joint operation between the Israeli army, Shin Bet, and police forces.The spokesperson alleged that Salem was a "Hamas operative with a criminal record."
