A 16-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin this week was shot dead by an Israeli sniper as she looked out of the window of her home, Reuters reports quoting her father.

Osama Musleh said troops had surrounded the house next door to his when his daughter was shot through the forehead after opening the curtain to look outside.

“She didn’t go to the roof, she didn’t hurl a stone and she wasn’t carrying a weapon,” he said. “She is 16 years old. The only thing she did is look from the window and the soldier saw her and shot her. One bullet that targeted her forehead.”
