Three Palestinians, including a 4-year-old girl and a woman, were killed this evening, Sunday, by Israeli forces, allegedly in an “attempt to thwart” a run-over attack near the “Ras Biddu” checkpoint, which separates the towns of Biddu and Beit Iksa, northwest of the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces opened fire on two vehicles as they passed through the checkpoint, wounding two people (a man and a woman) who were in the same vehicle, claiming that they had tried to carry out a ramming attack.

Israeli media confirmed that they died of critical injuries.

A child who was in another vehicle was also hit by occupation bullets, and Israeli ambulance crews quickly announced that she had died as a result of her injury “accidentally.”
