According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Amjad Bakr, Bana's father, reported that his daughter was hit by IOF gunfire while she was in her room with her sisters.
Local reports indicated that settlers had invaded the village, targeting homes in the southern area with stones and setting nearby fields on fire.
Earlier, Israeli settlers also shot a 34-year-old man in the hand, and severely beat a 30-year-old man, leaving him with significant bruises.

Moreover, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) targeted and sniped a human rights activist and US-Turkish citizen in the head while she was peacefully protesting the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, an American-Turkish human rights activist, arrived in the West Bank on Tuesday to volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) as part of a campaign to protect Palestinian farmers from settler and IOF violence.
It is worth noting that Eygi would be the third ISM volunteer the IOF murdered, after Rachel Corrie in 2004 and Tom Hurndall in 2005.
"An American solidarity activist arrived at the hospital with a gunshot in the head, and we announced her martyrdom around 14:30," the director of Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, Fouad Nafaa said on Friday.
