Israeli forces kill Palestinian woman after alleged stabbing attack in Hebron
Occupied Palestine (QNN) - Israeli occupation forces on Sunday evening shot dead a Palestinian woman for allegedly carrying out a stabbing operation near the al-Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron.
Local sources said the Israeli forces opened fire towards a Palestinian woman on suspicion of attempting to carry out a stabbing operation against heavily-armed soldiers stationed near al-Ibrahimi Mosque.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified her as Maha Kazem Awad, a 24-year-old resident of the city.
Meanwhile, Israeli media claimed an officer from the so-called Israeli border police sustained minor injuries as a result of the alleged stabbing operation.
Earlier today, the Israeli forces also shot dead another Palestinian woman, identified as 47-year-old Ghada Ibrahim Sabatien who is a widowed mother of six, in the town of Husan, west of Bethlehem.
Qassam Barghouti says Israeli forces broke his father Marwan’s teeth and ribs, cut his ear, and crushed his fingers “for fun.” His family fears a dangerous plan to kill the jailed Palestinian leader.
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are facing harsh detention conditions, including severe hunger, massive overcrowding, and poor sanitary conditions.
