Police probing killing of Palestinian siblings at West Bank crossing

Israel Police are investigating whether the killing of two Palestinian siblings by a security guard at the Qalandiya crossing into the West Bank last month is unlawful.

Maram Hassan Abu Ismail, 23, and her 16-year-old brother Ibrahim Saleh Taha were shot dead after Abu Ismail hurled a knife at Israeli forces, according to the Israeli military.

The details of the investigation are under gag order imposed by Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court.
