On Friday evening, Palestinian medical sources confirmed the death of a medic who was shot and seriously injured by the Israeli army fire a week earlier in Balata refugee camp, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
The sources added that the medic, Tamer Jalal Mohammad Saqer, 21, died from serious wounds he suffered after the soldiers invaded Balata, leading to protests.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the slain young man was one of its medics and added that the soldiers shot Tamer while he was providing essential medical aid to wounded Palestinians.
Tamer was injured from live fire after the army fired a missile from a drone at a home in Balata refugee camp, last Saturday, July 27, 2023, and fired live rounds at protesters, killing two Palestinians, including a child, and wounding at least twenty.
Israeli forces have now killed 594 Palestinians, including 144 children in various parts of the occupied West Bank, since the beginning of the Israeli military onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, air and sea, since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 39,480 Palestinians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 91,128 others, while thousands of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, where ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
