A 59-year-old Palestinian woman has been shot dead by Israeli forces while attending to her family’s olive grove in the village of Faqqua, east of Jenin in the north of the occupied West Bank.

Hanan Abu Salami was shot in the back on Thursday morning as she was picking olives with other members of her family when soldiers stationed on the nearby separation wall opened fire, her son told Middle East Eye.

"We had permission to pick the olives but despite that they shot at us and killed my mother.”

Karma is a different concept to hell. Karma is considered to get to one in his lifetime, not after.
