The 14-year-old Arab girl who was shot and lightly wounded when defying “halt” orders from IDF soldiers at the Eliyahu Crossing on Tuesday morning 18 Elul told authorities “I came here to die”.
The girl approached the vehicular crossing near Alfei Menashe on foot and was told to halt as she neared security personnel. When she ignored the warning a shot was fired in the air. She continued approaching them while putting a hand under her shirt. A shot was fired at her lower extremities, grazing her.
She was transported to Meir Hospital in Kfar Sava in light condition. She explained she had planned to die while carrying out the ‘attack’. According to reports, she was unarmed.

Wow! I don’t understand why the Israelis value Arab lives more then the Arabs themselves. This is what they all think going to carry out an attack. So by shooting at terrorists you are essentially fulfilling their will. And then the stupid politicians prosecute Azaria for removing one of these low lives
