Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested on Tuesday a 17-year-old Palestinian girl Taqwa Hammad from Silwad town near Ramallah after shooting her for no reason.

Chairman of Silwad council Abdurrahman Saleh highlighted that IOF troops shot the girl for no reason. A Palestinian ambulance car arrived at the scene and medics started treating the wounded minor he said. Meanwhile IOF soldiers arrested the girl from inside the ambulance he added.

Local sources revealed that the wounded detainee was shot in the thigh and was taken to the Israeli Hadassah hospital in Occupied Jerusalem. She is the sister of martyr Anas Hammad who was killed by Israeli gunfire in late 2015 the sources pointed out.

The family of the arrested girl had been suffering from repeated Israeli violations as IOF soldiers arrested her father for several times and her brother Abdurahim is still detained in Israeli jails not to mention the murder of her brother Anas.
