Palestinian woman shot dead; Israelis say she was armed, witness disputes it

(25.Oktober) A Hebron resident, who asked not to be identified, told CNN he was next in line at the checkpoint — some 4 meters away — when the incident occurred.

„There were seven or eight soldiers around her. The soldiers checked her belongings in a school bag. She looked like she was around 14 years old,“ he said.

„She went through a metal detector. In the school bag they found nothing and asked her, ‚Where‘s the knife?‘ She said, ‚I don‘t have a knife.‘ Then they fired between her legs. She was terrified and moved back half a meter or a meter.

„She raised her arms in the air saying ‚I don‘t have a knife.‘ Then they shot eight to 10 bullets, but I don‘t know exactly who was shooting. Then she fell on the ground.“
