<p>A senior IDF officer said Monday that an internal IDF investigation revealed that an Israeli soldier may have accidentally killed 16-year-old Jana Zakharn during a firefight in Jenin yesterday (Sunday).</p> <p>The officer noted that the Border Police officer who allegedly fired the shot which killed Zakharn is an outstanding and decorated sniper who probably misidentified and accidentally struck her while she was standing next to an armed terrorist on a rooftop.</p> <p>He said: "The force was fired upon about a minute after they exited the vehicle while undercover, and so the other forces had to come to rescue them. The rescue lasted about an hour according to plan and included the positioning of two of our sniper squads on two buildings. With the joining of the forces, there was a lot of firing on the force."</p> <p>"A decorated and experienced Border Police sniper spotted two figures on a rooftop. one of whom was armed and opened fire. He shot at one of the figures when she tried to run away. We estimate that she was standing next to one of the armed men, she may have been observed and mistakenly identified as a gunman. Unfortunately, she was killed."</p>
