Qalandia:A Palestinian girl was shot and injured by the Israeli army at the Qalandia checkpoint, located north of occupied East Jerusalem in the central West Bank.
According to Anadolu Agency, the incident occurred on Sunday when Israeli soldiers used live ammunition against the girl. Details regarding the girl's identity and the extent of her injuries remain unclear, and no additional information about the circumstances surrounding the shooting has been provided.
The shooting takes place amid increased Israeli restrictions on Palestinian movement in the West Bank. These restrictions include checkpoint closures and roadblocks, which isolate communities and disrupt access to work, homes, and essential services.
Since the onset of Israel's conflict with the Gaza Strip in October 2023, Israeli military actions in the West Bank have intensified. According to Palestinian figures, over 1,206 Palestinians have been killed, more than 13,300 injured, and nearly 26,000 arrested. The heightened military activities also involve demolishing homes, burning mosques, bulldozing farmland, preventing farmers from accessing their land, displacing Palestinians, and expanding settlements.
