Witness disputes Israel’s version of fatal shooting

A Palestinian witness has disputed the Israeli army’s account of a fatal shooting in the West Bank. Israel’s military said a Palestinian woman was shot as she attempted to stab a soldier at a checkpoint.

The woman, Hadeel al-Hashlamon, was taken to an Israeli hospital in a critical condition on Tuesday and her father, Salah al-Hashlamon, said she later died of her wounds.

No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the incident, in the West Bank city of Hebron.
