Police: Woman shot at Qalandiya had Hamas scarf, knife

Police say the young Palestinian woman shot in the leg by security guards at the Qalandiya checkpoint this afternoon had a knife and a scarf from the Hamas terror group in her bag.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld posts an image of the two items on Twitter, shortly after the incident at the West Bank crossing. The woman was shot and wounded when she refused to heed the guards’ calls to stop.

The 18-year-old is under arrest and is currently being treated at a Jerusalem hospital for light to moderate injuries.
