Israeli forces Wednesday shot and killed a young Palestinian woman at the Zaatara military checkpoint south of the occupied West Bank district of Nablus after an alleged stabbing attempt on Israeli border police.
The martyr has not yet been identified, Palestinian Maan news agency reported.
The woman became the 224th Palestinian to be killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since a wave of operations by Palestinians spread across the occupied territories last year in retaliation for the repressive Israeli measures against Palestinians in West Bank, especially in al-Quds and al-Aqsa holy mosque.
Throughout the unrest, rights groups have repeatedly denounced what they have termed Israeli forces’ “shoot-to-kill” policy against Palestinians.
