Elderly Palestinian Woman Wounded by Israeli Fire at Qalandia Checkpoint
An elderly Palestinian woman sustained injuries of varying severity early Sunday morning after Israeli forces opened fire on her at the Qalandia checkpoint, located between Jerusalem and Ramallah. Local sources reported that the Israeli forces shot the woman while she was at the checkpoint, with video footage showing her being hit and falling to the ground.
Israeli forces claimed the woman attempted a stabbing attack and was in possession of a knife. However, local accounts suggest her presence in the vehicle lane may have been accidental before soldiers and security personnel opened fire.
Following the incident, Israeli forces closed the Qalandia checkpoint to vehicular and pedestrian traffic in both directions.
