Ramallah, West Bank:
A Palestinian lady was killed and two Israelis have been seriously wounded in two separate shooting incidents in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, Israeli and Palestinian officials mentioned.
An Israeli soldier shot a Palestinian lady who attempted to carry out a stabbing attack, the military mentioned. Palestinian officials mentioned the lady, aged 60, died of her wounds.
Later in the day Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a busy intersection, seriously wounding two Israelis. Israeli soldiers have been browsing for the gunmen, who fired from a vehicle close to a Jewish settlement just before driving off, the military mentioned.
Tensions have been higher in the West Bank and Jerusalem throughout the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, peaking with many days of clashes close to Jerusalem’s Old City amongst Israeli police and Palestinians more than access to a well known evening-time meeting spot.
The Israeli army mentioned it would be sending further troops to the West Bank following a “situational assessment.”
