Israeli police say a nine-year-old Jewish girl has been shot and seriously injured while playing outside in the West Bank.
Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says she was hit by a single shot to the upper body as she played outside on Saturday in the settlement of Psagot.
He says it appears to have been a Palestinian sniper attack carried out from long range. Tensions are high between Israelis and Palestinians in the area.
An Israeli soldier was recently shot and killed by a sniper in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Rosenfeld says Psagot residents have been told to stay at home while searches are underway.
