A 20-year-old Palestinian woman was killed on Wednesday by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) which directly shot her in the head following an alleged stabbing incident in Al-Khalil, as reported by Israeli media. 

The General Authority for Civil Affairs and the Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the woman as Maimouna Abdul Hamid Harahsha.

The incident sparked outrage on social media, with reports circulating that Maimouna, a university student with an exam scheduled for the day, was on her way to take it when the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) fatally shot her at the Beit Anun checkpoint, referred to as the "checkpoint of death."

It is worth noting that the IOF deliberately left the 20-year-old bleeding to death without allowing ambulance crews to reach her, and they continue to withhold her body.

IOF kill, injure civilians in simultaneous raids in the West Bank

The director of Areeha Governmental Hospital announced, during the early hours of Tuesday, that Shadi Issa Jalaita, 44, a father of three children, was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces. 

Local media reported that the martyr Shadi was the brother of prisoner Fadi Jalaita, 46, who marked his 24th year in occupation prisons last Wednesday. Fadi was sentenced to 25 years in prison and had been serving his sentence when his father passed away. 

Israeli occupation forces stormed the Aqabat Jaber and Ain Sultan camps in southern and northern Areeha, as well as the al-Duyuk village and several other towns in the vicinity, injuring two civilians as they opened fire against residents. 

At the time, medical sources reported that a boy in Aqabat Jaber camp was seriously injured by a bullet to the chest, and was transported to Ramallah Hospital, while another injured Palestinian, who had been shot in the knee, was taken to Areeha Hospital. 

This comes as the IOF, alongside settlers, have escalated their attacks on Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank, including al-Quds, resulting in the killing of at least 488 Palestinians since October 7.
