RAMALLAH, October 1, 2016 (WAFA) – Israel Saturday released a Palestinian woman who was shot and critically injured when Israeli forces opened fire at a vehicle she was in following an alleged car-ramming attack earlier September.
Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission said Raghad Khaddour, 18, a resident of the Hebron area town of Bani Naim, was transferred from a hospital in Israel to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.
Khaddour was shot and critically injured when Israeli forces opened fire at a vehicle driven by a relative, Faris Khaddour, 18, after he allegedly attempted to run down Israeli settlers near Hebron on September 17. Faris was killed.
Israel claimed soldiers opened fire at the car after it attempted to ram into settlers near Kiryat Arba settlement.
However, the circumstances surrounding the killings remain unclear and are largely based on the Israeli army version of events.
