THE Palestinian Authority accused Israel yesterday of shooting a 16-year-old girl “in cold blood” in Jerusalem on Sunday.

Fatima Hajiji from Qarawat Bani Zaid village died after Israeli police and border guards shot her more than 20 times at the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City.

They later claimed she attacked them with a knife. None of the occupation forces were injured.
