On Saturday evening, medical sources reported that a Palestinian child from Far’un village, south of Tulkarem, in the occupied West Bank’s northwestern part, had succumbed to serious wounds he had suffered a week earlier when Israeli soldiers shot him.
Medical sources said Israeli soldiers shot the child, Mohammad Rifat Mohammad Adwan, 16, with a live round in the back before he was rushed to a hospital.
They added that the child underwent surgery at Thabet Thabet Hospital in Tulkarem and was then moved to the Ishtishair Hospital in Ramallah, where he succumbed to his serious wounds.
The soldiers shot Mohammad near the Annexation Wall in the western part of the village after the army attacked farmers and protesters in the area.
Also, the soldiers killed Omar Ahmad Abdul-Rahman Asmar, 15, in Zeita town, north of Tulkarem.
Their deaths bring the number of Palestinians whom Israeli soldiers killed in Tulkarem on Friday and Saturday to seven; they were among fifteen Palestinians whom Israeli soldiers killed in the West Bank Friday.
