 A Bedouin girl in the northern Negev was shot in the head on Wednesday, apparently by a soldier of the Israel Defense Forces. The military police are investigating. The girl, 12, was hospitalized at the Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva with life-threatening wounds. The girl, who had been herding sheep, was brought to an IDF base by a Bedouin man who said the girl had been shot by IDF soldiers after wandering into a firing zone. A paramedic confirmed severe head wounds. The girl was evacuated to the hospital. The IDF has not confirmed any details of the incident. It is unclear whether the girl's family had a permit for herding in the area. The herding season has begun and many Bedouin have complained of a shortage in herding permits. Since 1999, no new permits have been issued.
