Tulkarem – Ma'an – An eight-year-old Palestinian girl, Zeina Mir'i, from the village Izbat Al-Jarad, east of the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem, was severely wounded by gunfire from invading Israeli forces on Friday evening.

Mir'i was injured as Israeli soldiers fired arbitrarily towards Palestinian homes.

Palestinian security sources reported that the Israeli forces opened fire in Tulkarem and Izbat Al-Jarad village whilst conducting inspections searching for so-called 'wanted' Palestinians.

As a result of the random fire, Mir'i sustained a bullet wound to her head.

Mir'i was evacuated to Thabit Thabit Hospital in Tulkarem, then transferred to Al-Maqasid Hospital in Jerusalem due to her critical condition.
