Israeli troopers shoot Palestinian woman
Israeli security personnel shot a Palestinian woman who tried to stab them at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank yesterday, Israeli police said, and Palestinian officials said she died of her injury. The West Bank, among territories where Palestinians seek statehood, has seen simmering street violence since US-sponsored peace talks with Israel broke down in 2014. An Israeli police spokesman said on Twitter that a “female terrorist attempted to carry out (a) stabbing attack” at Qalandia checkpoint.
