Girl in Israeli Settlement Shot in Possible Attack
[An Nahar] A nine-year-old Israeli girl from a settlement near the West Bank city of Ramallah was at death's door after being shot late on Saturday, police and emergency services said.

Police front man Micky Rosenfeld told Agence La Belle France Presse the girl, from Psagot east of the Paleostinian political capital 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.

A front man for Israel's Magen David Adom emergency services said the girl was taken to hospital conscious but at death's door.

Last month an Israeli soldier was rubbed out in the southern West Bank city of Hebron in what the army believes was a Paleostinian sniper attack, although no suspects were later apprehended.
According to Ynet, her condition has stabilized. It adds:
