The father of the 13-year-old Palestinian girl shot dead as she attempted to stab an Israeli guard outside the West Bank settlement of Anatot says her death “helps al-Aqsa, its guardians, and Palestine,” the Walla news website reports.

According to Arabic reports, the father says the knife the girl carried “couldn’t even peel a potato.”
