Zionist forces shoot, injure Palestinian woman in West Bank

Israeli military forces have injured a Palestinian woman in the southern part of West Bank over an alleged stabbing attempt against the regime's soldiers, amid heightening tensions in the occupied territories.

The woman was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in al-Quds in critical condition.

The development came only two days after a Palestinian man was shot and wounded near the West Bank settlement of Efrat over an alleged stabbing attack.

Many Palestinians have sustained injuries or lost their lives in similar incidents due to allegations that they attempted stabbing or car-ramming attacks.

Israeli troops have on numerous occasions been caught on camera brutally killing Palestinians, with the videos going viral online and sparking international condemnation.

Palestinian territories have been the scene of soaring tensions in the wake of President Mahmoud Abbas’s decision to delay parliamentary polls that were scheduled to take place on May 22.

He announced the postponement late on Thursday, citing Israel’s rejection of allowing elections to be held in al-Quds.
