He said, citing the Ministry of Defence, that a woman presented herself at a checkpoint in Hebron near the settlement of “Beit Yatir”.
This woman brandished a gun while shouting in Arabic “God is great”, so the security forces in the area opened fire.
According to the “Times of Israel”, what happened was a suicide attempt by a soldier.
Other reports indicated that the settler was mentally ill.
It is not yet known how she was injured.
The first reports emerged from Israeli media that a Palestinian girl was shot by soldiers for allegedly shooting Israeli soldiers.
