Palestinian minor dies from Israeli army fire in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian minor died Saturday of injuries he sustained from Israeli army fire in the occupied West Bank a day earlier, according to local media.
Mohamed Abdullah al-Saher, 16, was shot and injured before being detained by Israeli forces in Silwad town, northeast of Ramallah, Friday evening.
Al-Saher was transferred to the Israeli Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem where he breathed his last on Saturday, the state-run Palestine TV reported.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has yet to confirm the death and there was no comment from the Israeli military on the report.
According to Palestinian figures, more than 70 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli army fire in the occupied territories since the beginning of this year.
Amnesty International early this year declared Israel guilty of the crime of apartheid.
