A 14-year-old Israeli girl is shot and seriously wounded under unclear circumstances in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, medics say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says the teenager was first brought to a local health clinic.

MDA says its medics are taking the unconscious girl to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital for further treatment.

According to the hospital, the girl was hit in the head by gunfire. It was not immediately clear if she was targeted or hit by errant gunfire.
