On Friday, medical sources confirmed the death of a young Palestinian man after Israeli soldiers shot him in the Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem in the West Bank.
Media sources reported that the young man, Yasser Raed Fayez Mteir, succumbed to serious wounds he sustained earlier on Friday after being shot by Israeli soldiers during an army invasion of Qalandia.
They added that many army vehicles invaded the Al-Matar neighborhood in Qalandia, leading to protests before the soldiers fired numerous live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.
Medical sources at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah stated that the young man was rushed to the hospital with serious gunshot wounds and was taken into surgery but succumbed to his injuries.
It is worth mentioning that Yasser is the brother of Samid Mteir, a political prisoner held by Israel since soldiers abducted him from his home on November 12, 2023.
On Thursday, Israeli forces assassinated seven Palestinian young men and injured at least twelve, including a child seriously, during a prolonged attack against the town of Qabatia, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers have killed 716 Palestinians, including 160 children, 9 elders, 10 women, 1 journalist, and 2 medics, in the occupied West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
On Friday, Day 350 of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells killed and injured dozens of Palestinians, including children and women, in various parts of the devastated, besieged, and starved coastal enclave.
Israel has now killed at least 41,272 people, including 16,673 children, 11,269 women, 888 medical staff, 203 UNRWA workers, and 172 journalists, and injured more than 95,551, the majority of whom are children, women, and elderly, since the beginning of the aggression on the coastal enclave on October 7, 2023.
The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher and could be above 200,000 when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.
