OCCUPIED-AL-QUDS: Israeli border guards on Saturday shot dead a young woman approaching them with a knife at a West Bank checkpoint after she ignored orders to stop, police said.
They said the woman kept walking towards the guards at Qalandiya crossing between Israel and the West Bank, despite repeated warnings to stop.
She was aged 28 and from Aqabat Jabr near the West Bank town of Jericho, police said, without giving further identification, although media outlets, both Israeli and Palestinian, reported that she was Palestinian.
On Friday, a 15-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli army gunfire near Beita, south of Nablus.
