According to a statement released by the Israeli army, Gofran Warasneh approached a soldier with a 'knife' before being shot dead over an 'attempted stabbing' attack.

The Palestinian woman was shot and announced in a hard condition before authorities announced her death later on.

Clashes have been ongoing between the Israeli troops and Palestinians near Al-Aroub Camp, north of Hebron, West Bank.
