Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman, on Sunday, after an alleged stabbing attempt at the “Hamra” military roadblock in the northern Jordan Valley.

Media sources said that occupation forces shot a woman with live rounds after she allegedly attempted a stabbing at the military roadblock.

It was added that after shooting the woman, soldiers prevented ambulance crews from approaching her, and closed the roadblock in both directions.

The slain woman, identified as Labiba Faze’ Sidqi Ghannam, 43, a resident of the city of Tubas, succumbed to the gunshot wounds inflicted on her, and the soldiers’ denial of medical treatment.

Arab 48 quoted the Israeli Army Radio who said that five shooting operations were carried out in the West Bank over a short period of time, while several areas witnessed settler and military vehicles being targeted with stones and Molotov cocktails.

In the northern West Bank governorate of Jenin, resistance fighters opened fire towards occupation forces at the Salem, Dotan, and Al-Jalama military roadblocks.
