Israeli police have accidentally killed a young Palestinian girl after opening fire on a car suspected of a ramming attack, emergency services in Israel have said.<\/p>\n

The border police said they fatally shot the girl, reported to be three or four years old, after firing at a couple in a car who, they said, rammed into two Israeli<\/strong> officers at a West Bank checkpoint.<\/p>\n

The unidentified girl was in a van in front of the car which ploughed into the crossing near the Palestinian village of Biddu, just northwest of Jerusalem on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Video footage from a security camera appeared to show a white car being driven into a pair of Israeli police officers at the checkpoint.<\/p>\n

Police then chased after the vehicle, opening fire.<\/p>\n

They hit a man and a woman inside the car, along with the girl in the vehicle in front, police said.<\/p>\n

Israeli paramedics gave her age as three but Palestinian sources told the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, that she was four.<\/p>\n

She was treated at the scene but pronounced dead by Israeli doctors, the Israeli ambulance services said, without giving the cause of death.<\/p>\n

A female officer in the paramilitary border police was also lightly wounded, paramedics said.<\/p>\n

The Israeli police said in a statement a car with a man and a woman stopped at a crossing near Jerusalem and committed a ramming attack against border police, who responded with live fire.<\/p>\n

The suspected attackers were “neutralised”, the police said, without providing details.<\/p>\n

Palestinian sources told WAFA that the couple were also killed in the shooting.<\/p>\n

‘Dire situation’ elsewhere in West Bank after clash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier, the Israeli army said one of its helicopters attacked Palestinians who were throwing explosives at Israeli vehicles in Jenin, also in the West Bank.<\/p>\n

Seven Palestinians were killed in the airstrike, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

Mujahhid Nazal, a doctor at a nearby clinic who rushed to the scene, said: “It was a really dire situation, seven young men were lying on the ground.”<\/p>\n

Violence erupted after a policeman was killed and three others were injured when a roadside bomb exploded near an Israeli security vehicle.<\/p>\n

Funeral for Palestinians killed in West Bank<\/span>

Tensions have increased in the West Bank since Israel invaded Gaza.<\/p>\n

The war there is nearing the three-month mark and has killed more than 22,800 people, more than two-thirds of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. Its count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.<\/p>\n

Some 85% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes and squeezed into small slivers of the territory. Israel’s siege has caused a humanitarian crisis, with a quarter of the population starving because not enough supplies are entering the area, according to the UN.<\/p>\n

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after its 7 October attack, in which militants killed around 1,200 people and abducted approximately 240 others.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu aide hopes war has reached ‘beginning of the end’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told Sky News on Sunday that Israeli forces had finished dismantling Hamas in northern Gaza.<\/p>\n

Mr Regev suggested this “success” could mean the “beginning of the end” for the war.<\/p>\n

He said any rebuilding and return of Palestinians to the area would “have to wait for the end of combat operations”.<\/p>\n

However, he said there was hope that Palestinians could go back to their homes “in the not too distant future”.<\/p>\n

The adviser also said he agreed with Antony Blinken – the US secretary of state – who said earlier that there have been too many civilian deaths in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t want to see a single civilian death, and we’ve tried to make a maximum effort to avoid civilian deaths,” Mr Regev told Sky News.<\/p>\n

He claimed the number of civilians getting caught in the crossfire “has been going down”.<\/p>\n

Questioned on whether there was any disagreement between Israel and the US on post-conflict security, after Mr Blinken said Washington “had a vision” for Gaza’s future, Mr Regev said the two countries agreed on the “overall strategy” to ensure Hamas is “destroyed”.<\/p>\n

“There can be no answers on what comes afterwards,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We would like to see a government by Palestinians, for Palestinians… that insists on the demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip and de-radicalisation.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
