Gaza City: At least one Palestinian woman was killed and a youth injured after Israeli soldiers opened fire near the West Bank city of Hebron, here on Wednesday.
According to media reports, witnesses said that Lubna Hanash and her companions were walking to al-Arroub College when men in Israeli military uniforms travelling in a civilian car shot at the group.
Asked about the incident, an Israeli army spokeswoman said Palestinians had thrown petrol bombs at soldiers, who then opened fire.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad issued a statement calling for “strong condemnation from the international community” of these shootings, and urged “immediate intervention to compel Israel to desist from these serious attacks on our people”.
