On Friday, a Palestinian young man succumbed to previous wounds inflicted on him by Israeli forces in January 2024 in the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

According to medical sources at the Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin, the young man, Yamen Ahmad Asfour, 19, died as a result of a live gunshot wound he sustained on January 13, 2024.

In the evening, Palestinians gathered at the slain man’s family home in the town of Arraba, where his family members said their final goodbyes.


After the evening prayer, the mourners performed the funeral prayer over the slain man’s body and buried him in the town’s cemetery.
