Conflicting Accounts of Israeli Killing of Teenage Girl

HeadlineOct 26, 2015

Violence is continuing in Israel and the Occupied Territories. Earlier today, Israeli forces shot and killed a teenage Palestinian accused of stabbing an Israeli in Hebron. A day earlier, Israeli border police shot and killed a 17-year-old girl at a border checkpoint. Police said the girl approached officers with a knife, but a witness told CNN the accused assailant was a “terrified schoolgirl” who raised her arms, saying, “I don’t have a knife.” Close to 60 Palestinians have now been killed by Israeli security forces this month, about 30 of whom were accused of attacking Israelis. Ten Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks.
