Lapid expresses sorrow over Palestinian girl’s death during West Bank raid
Prime Minister Yair Lapid expresses sorrow over the death of a Palestinian girl, which the IDF has said likely occurred when an IDF targeted gunmen who were near her.
In a statement, Lapid sends condolences to the family of 16-year-old Jana Zakarna, adding that the probe of the incident is ongoing.
Lapid says Israel will “continue to act to thwart terror and to capture terrorists whenever needed,” while trusting soldiers to “do their utmost to avoid harming uninvolved people” even during complex missions.
