Palestinian youth succumbs to injuries from Israeli military gunfire in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian youth succumbed to his injuries from Israeli military gunfire earlier this month in the occupied West Bank, authorities said.
In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry said that Tareq Maher Shakhshir, 21, succumbed to severe injuries he sustained during an Israeli military raid in the city of Nablus 10 days ago.
His death brought the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7 to 314.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since the launch of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, over 3,300 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7.
