(MENAFN) The Israeli police stated that on Saturday, Jun. 12 A Palestinian woman, aged 28, was gunned down by an Israeli security guard at the Qalandiya checkpoint in the West Bank.
The police said that the woman, a resident of the Palestinian refugee camp Aqabat Jaber close to the city of Jericho, came near the vehicles traversing at the checkpoint manned by Israeli frontier police and civilian security guards, and ran in their direction with a knife in her hand.
