23-year-old Maram Salih Hassan Abu Ismail, five months pregnant, and her 16-year-old brother Ibrahim were en route to Jerusalem when they took a path at Qalandiya checkpoint intended for vehicles, not pedestrians. They were apparently unable to understand Israeli officers yelling in Hebrew, and stopped walking. Ibrahim attempted to grab his sister's hand and move away from the officers, when they opened fire on her. Maram fell to the ground and when Ibrahim attempted to aid her, he was shot in his tracks.
