Occupied Palestine – The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, has slammed Israel’s Sunday killing of a Palestinian woman in Bethlehem city.
In a tweet, the UN wrote on Sunday, “Shocked and disturbed by the killing of an apparently unarmed Palestinian woman by Israel|i security forces in Husan/Bethlehem, in circumstances that seem to indicate she posed no imminent threat.”
“My deepest condolences to her family. Such acts must be thoroughly investigated.”
The Israeli occupation forces shot and critically injured a Palestinian woman, aged in her 40s, near the southern town of Husan, earlier on Sunday.
The woman, identified as Ghada Ibrahim Sabatien, who is a widowed mother of six, was rushed by Palestinian medics to a Beit Jala hospital.
However, she died of her wounds soon after as she suffered a torn artery and massive blood loss, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
