Israeli occupation guards shot and wounded a Palestinian girl on Wednesday in the West Bank.
The attack took place at a checkpoint near the Israeli settlement of Alfei Menashe and the Palestinian town of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian health ministry said she had been shot and described her wounds as moderate.
The Israeli defense ministry claimed the girl did not stop at the crossing. It added she had approached the crossing by foot while carrying a bag.
“Crossing security officials called to her to stop and fired warning shots into the air,” it said in a statement.
It provided no further details. A ministry spokeswoman declined to comment further.
