The incident took place at an army roadblock near the Ibrahimi Mosque, where the woman, identified as Sadyeh Salem Farajallah, 65, by local sources, reportedly attempted to stab an illegal Israeli settler.

Israeli troops assaulted the elderly woman causing her to lose consciousness, and prevented medical crews from providing first aid treatment.

Quds Press reported that Israeli soldiers took the woman to an interrogation center.

Unconfirmed reports by Israeli sources stated that the woman was shot, and that a 38 year old Israeli settler was lightly injured and was treated at the scene.
