JERUSALEM: A nine-year-old Israeli girl from a settlement near the West Bank city of Ramallah was in serious condition after being shot yesterday, police said.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the girl, from Psagot, east of Ramallah, was “shot while playing in the garden outside her house”. “She was shot in the upper part of the body,” he said.

Rosenfeld said the girl was taken to a hospital in Jerusalem, and that police were looking at different leads, “including that it was a terrorist attack”. He said residents of Psagot had been ordered to stay inside their homes until further notice.
