A Palestinian teenage girl who attacked an Israeli soldier and a bystander has been shot dead in the West Bank. The girl wounded the Israeli soldier who was on guard near a sensitive
West Bank holy site sacred to both Jews and Muslims in Hebron.
A
Palestinian male bystander was also caught up in the attack before she
was shot and killed by Israeli troops, the military said.
The
Palestinian girl has been identified as Kilzar Mohd Abdulhaleem
al-Owiwi, 17, from Hebron, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The
incident occurred in Hebron, a flashpoint during the last five months
of violence, in which Palestinians have carried out near-daily attacks,
mainly stabbings.
The
soldier was lightly wounded. A Palestinian who intervened to try to
stop the attacker was stabbed and more seriously wounded, and was taken
to a hospital for treatment, the military said.
