On Sunday morning, a Palestinian girl was shot and injured by Israeli military forces at the Qalandia checkpoint, located north of Jerusalem. The incident was reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa, which noted that the girl was wounded during the encounter at the military crossing.

Concurrent with this event, Israeli authorities announced a comprehensive closure of the occupied West Bank and various border crossings. According to reports, these measures are intended to last for one week and are being implemented in observance of the Jewish holidays. The closure has resulted in increased military presence and stricter movement restrictions for Palestinians attempting to traverse checkpoints and barriers in the region.

While the report confirms the injury and the broader context of the checkpoint closures, it does not provide specific details regarding the circumstances that led to the shooting, such as whether there was an alleged security threat or specific interaction preceding the use of force. The report frames the event within the context of ongoing movement restrictions in the occupied territories.
