2. "Keep in mind that they didn't know if she had other weapons like a ied"

Which may be why they went for the leg, hitting the IED belt would be bad.
Also they were using rifles, much easier then a pistol to hit a smaller target...also she was moving slow.

Palestinian woman shot during attempted stabbing dies of her wounds

The Palestinian woman who was shot during an attempted stabbing attack at Gush Etzion Junction has died of her wounds, according to the hospital where she was receiving treatment.

The woman, 60-year-old Fahima al-Hroub from the nearby village of Husan, approached a group of soldiers with a knife in her hand and tried to stab the troops, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Footage of the incident showed al-Hroub walking toward the soldiers, even as they shouted at her repeatedly to stop and fired warning shots in the air.

One of the soldiers then shot her in the upper body, and she was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center in critical condition, according to the United Hatzalah medical organization. Doctors pronounced her dead several hours later, the hospital says.
