A female citizen died today, Sunday, as a result of being shot by Israeli occupation forces at the Hamra military checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley.

Local sources said that the Israeli occupation forces shot a woman, prevented ambulance crews from reaching her, and closed the military checkpoint in both directions.

Local sources reported that citizen Manal Fazza Sawafta (40 years old) from the city of Tubas died as a result of being hit by Israeli occupation bullets, for allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing attack at the Hamra checkpoint.

The Israeli occupation forces are establishing the Hamra military checkpoint at a crossroads linking the cities of the West Bank with the central, southern and northern Jordan Valley.
