The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire at dawn Wednesday at a Palestinian girl near Yitzhar illegal settlement south of Nablus after an alleged stabbing attack, according to PIC.

IOF claimed that the 15-year-old girl Astabreq Nour tried to infiltrate into the settlement while holding a knife in her possession. The Israeli soldiers opened heavy fire once they noticed her, the sources added. The girl was hospitalized with no word on her condition.

Eyewitnesses affirmed that the girl did not approach the settlement. She was walking near the main road when Israeli forces suddenly opened fire at her, the sources stressed.

Following the incident, Israeli authorities summoned the girl’s father for investigation in Hawara military camp south of the city, while no information was released about the girl’s health condition.
