Anne Gwynne, 65 anni, di Aberystwyth, Galles, e' stata sparata alla gamba da soldati israeliani d'occupazione mentre, a piedi, percorreva una strada della citta' vecchia di Nablus, assediata dai tanks dell'esercito.
La donna ha dichiarato che due soldati hanno mirato ed aperto il fuoco contro di lei ed una sua collega, che si recavano a portare soccorso ad una donna palestinese in preda alle doglie.
Anche l'autista dell'ambulanza che era in attesa di recuperare le donne e' stato ferito ad un braccio e non ha potuto soccorrere la signora Gwynne, lasciata sanguinare in strada ma ferita in maniera non grave.
"Siamo stati inseguiti da tre soldati. Ci hanno urlato qualcosa, e, senza ripetere, ci hanno sparato contro".
L'ex insegnante gallese e membro di un'organizzazione umanitaria attiva nei Territori occupati ha detto di aver avuto la sensazione che i militari volessero uccidere l'altra donna che la accompagnava, una palestinese, riuscita a mettersi in salvo nei vicoletti della citta' vecchia di Nablus. La signora Gwynne ha raccontato a BBC Online di aver deciso di mobilitarsi in favore del popolo palestinese con la Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committee allorche' una delle sue figlie, che studiava in un'Universita' americana, fu minacciata che non avrebbe mai conseguito la laurea se non avesse smesso di condurre campagne in favore della causa palestinese.
"Qui e' come una frontiera senza legge, come il selvaggio west", ha detto la donna. "Non vi e' legge se non quella dei mitragliatori. E' un inferno, i carriarmati sparano anche sui bambini. Ogni giorno puoi essere assassinato per il solo fatto di essere qui". La signora Gwynne scrive per il web-site palestinese Ramallah online, in cui testimonia gli eventi a cui assiste, incluso assassinii di civili, distruzione di proprieta' e furti da parte dell'esercito.

Grandmother hurt in Israeli violence
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/2780047.stm
Mrs Gwynne was shot at while in the old quarter of Nablus
A Welsh woman has been shot at and injured by Israeli troops in the West Bank while trying to help people to hospital.
Anne Gwynne, 65, from Aberystwyth, was hit in the leg by shrapnel while carrying a stretcher through the old quarter of the besieged town of Nablus.
She said two soldiers opened fire on her and a colleague after they failed to hear an order for them to halt as they were trying to reach a heavily pregnant Palestinian woman.
Her ambulance driver was hit in the hand and Mrs Gwynne was left bleeding after being hit by a piece of flying metal but has told News Online she was not seriously hurt.
She said: "We were being chased by three soldiers.
"We didn't hear them, in the first place, and they were speaking in Hebrew, not English.
"They didn't repeat it, they simply shot at us."
Mrs Gwynne is an ambulance volunteer in the West Bank
Despite being injured, she and her Palestinian colleague eventually reached the woman and were able to take her to hospital, a process that took about an hour-and-a-half.
The grandmother and former teacher said she believed the two Israeli Defence Force soldiers who fired at them, from about 50m, were trying to kill her colleague and only the narrow, curving alleyway saved her from more serious harm.
"I think I was just lucky. They have not shot so close at "internationals" before - they have at checkpoints but not in an enclosed space.
Mrs Gwynne travelled to the Middle East trouble spot seven weeks ago to work for a Jerusalem-based medical organisation which helps carry injured civilians across Israeli checkpoints.
She said she was spurred into volunteering for the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees after one of her daughters, who was studying at an American university, was warned she would not be awarded her PhD unless she gave up campaigning for the Palestinian cause.
Witness
As well as risking her life on the streets of the West Bank, Mrs Gwynne also writes for the pro-Palestinian website, Ramallah Online.
She said: "I came out here to see and ended up writing
"It's like a lawless frontier, like the wild west - there is no law except who-has-the-guns-have-the-law."
"It's like Hell here, there are tanks firing on children."
Part of her role as a witness on behalf of the Palestinians to events around her include drawing up a dossier of incidents including deaths, property destruction and theft.
""Every day, you could be shot just for being here.
"It's a funny thing, you just get used to it - we don't accept is as normal, because if we do we've lost - but at the same time we just get on with it."
