Our correspondent stated that a settler fired at resident Wafa Abdel Rahman Bardai (34 years old) near the entrance to the settlement of Kiryat Arba, which is built on civilian (Palestinian) land, while the occupation forces prevented medics from reaching her, before her death was reported and they seized her body. The shaheed (martyr) is a resident of the Jalagil area near the town of Bani Na'im, east of Hebron, married and the mother of five children."
