The first victim was a 45-year-old unarmed Palestinian woman in the town of Husan, west of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.
Eyewitnesses as quoted by Arab news said that Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint at the eastern entrance of Husan shot Ghadeer Sabatin, a widow and mother of six.
She reportedly crossed the street after one of the soldiers asked her to stop.
