Israeli forces shot a female [Arab Muslim terrorist] after she attempted to stab a soldier at a West Bank checkpoint on Tuesday, the military said, as tensions continued to simmer ahead of this week’s major Jewish and Muslim holidays.

The military said forces opened fire and “identified a hit” following the incident in the West Bank city of Hebron. The woman’s condition was not immediately known, although the military said she was taken to a Jerusalem hospital for treatment. The soldier was not wounded.

The woman was identified as 18-year-old university student Hadeel al-Hashlamon. Her father, Salah al-Hashlamon, said she was in critical condition at an Israeli hospital but had no further details.
