RAMALLAH (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s army has shot dead a 19-year-old Palestinian woman in the town of Beitunia near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian health ministry said the victim, Sanaa al-Tal, was shot in the head by Zionist troops at dawn on Monday during a raid on Beitunia.
According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, another Palestinian, 26-year-old Anas Hassouneh, was injured and arrested in the shooting.
Al-Tal, who was shot while she was in a car, hails from the town of al-Thahiriyeh south of Al-Khalil city in the southern occupied West Bank.
News and images of the incident were circulated by local media at 4am (01:00 GMT), and her killing was confirmed several hours later.
A witness told Wafa, that al-Tal and Hassouneh were in a vehicle driving up a road, unaware that Zionist troops had stationed themselves at several points until they were surprised by the army’s presence.
“When they tried to turn around, they found other soldiers opposite them who started shooting at them without any notice,” the witness, who lives in the area, said, adding that the car was shot at three times by soldiers stationed on different corners as it tried to get away.
The Palestinian health ministry said the young woman was martyred after she was shot in the head by Zionist occupation soldiers during their storming of Beitunia at dawn.
The occupation army has tightened its deadly grip on the West Bank in the past few months. Zionist troops have recently been conducting overnight raids and killings in the northern occupied West Bank, mainly in the cities of Jenin and Nablus, where new groups of Palestinian resistance fighters have been formed.
In early November, the Palestinian health ministry reported that the Zionist regime has killed more than 185 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip since the start of 2022.
Local and international rights groups have condemned the regime’s excessive use of force and “shoot-to-kill policy” against Palestinians.
