"Tragic String of Violence in West Bank and East Jerusalem Claims Lives, Including Children"

A Palestinian toddler was killed by a mistaken gunshot from an Israeli Border Police officer during a terror attack at the Ras Biddu crossing in the West Bank. The attack involved a ramming incident by a vehicle, which left two Israelis, including a female Border Police officer, lightly wounded. The toddler was in a separate vehicle that had been cleared at the checkpoint when the officer, responding to the attack, accidentally fired at the wrong vehicle. Attempts to resuscitate the child were unsuccessful, and the death was pronounced at the scene.
