    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian woman was shot and killed Friday afternoon after her car crashed into a stationary vehicle, lightly injuring two Israelis in the Hebron district of the southern occupied West Bank in what the Israeli army has claimed was a car-ramming attack.

    An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that after a Palestinian woman allegedly carried out a car-ramming attack near the entrance of the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba in the eastern outskirts of Hebron, Israeli forces responded by firing towards the “assailant,” killing her.

    The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed her death, identifying her as Majd al-Khadour . Israeli sources said she was 18 years old.

    The two Israelis, reportedly a man and woman in their 50s who had stopped outside the settlement to pick up hitchhikers, were immediately evacuated for treatment at Israel’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

    Witnesses told Ma’an they saw Israeli forces open heavy fire at a Palestinian female inside a red car at the entrance of Kiryat Arba.
