Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — Israeli troops shot and wounded a 9-year-old Palestinian girl Friday when she violated a curfew by running out of her West Bank home, an Arab hospital official said.
In the Gaza Strip, a mob of Palestinians attacked a fellow Arab alleged to have cooperated with Israeli authorities, and news reports said another alleged collaborator opened fire a day earlier on a Palestinian mob that was blocking his way in the West Bank, wounding a teen-ager.
The incidents were the latest in a series of Palestinian attacks on suspected collaborators, including three in the past week. An Arab hospital official said nine-year-old Marah Nadadeli of Nablus was shot in the left leg when she ran out of her house in Nablus, the largest West Bank city.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the girl thought she heard the army announce on loudspeakers that a curfew was over…”
Context added by this archive
The headline gives the child an offence and leaves out who shot her. The first sentence of the copy names the troops, and the fifth paragraph names her: Marah Nadadeli, nine, of Nablus, shot in the left leg. It also says she thought she had heard the army announce that the curfew was over.
