Israeli Troops Kill Unarmed Palestinian Woman in Occupied West Bank 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Israeli military continues to carry out deadly attacks in the
occupied West Bank. In the latest incident, a 21-year-old Palestinian
woman was killed and another local youth was wounded when Israeli forces
opened fire at a school. A witness said the slain victim, Lubna Hanash,
was standing with a group of companions when they came under fire.

Ahmed Abu Kheran: "Two Israeli solders traveling in a white car pointed
their weapons, shooting indiscriminately at a college, where the women
were standing at the entrance, and there was another man inside. They
shot three people, and then a large number of soldiers arrived."

Lubna Hanash was laid to rest at a funeral in her hometown of Bethlehem
hours after her death. She was one several unarmed Palestinians killed
by Israeli troops in the Occupied Territories this month.
