Tel Aviv: Clashes erupt over the shooting death of an unarmed Palestinian woman by Israeli soldiers. Israel’s military says a Palestinian woman was shot dead when she arrived in Bethlehem, despite warnings from soldiers. Subsequent examination revealed that the woman, who appeared to be 40 years old, had no weapons. Military sources said the matter would be investigated.
As many as 14 people have been killed in Israeli-Palestinian conflict since March. Since January, 20 Palestinians have been killed in military firing. The unrelenting tensions over worship at the Al-Aqsa Mosque have also been a headache for security forces. Tensions are also running high in the West Bank city of Nablus over the burning of Joseph’s tomb, which is revered by both Jewish and Christian communities.
