A Palestinian young man succumbed to gunshot wounds he sustained before dawn when Israeli forces invaded the Al-Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Malek Ali al-Hattab, 19, succumbed, on Monday evening, to the injuries he suffered after occupation soldiers shot him in the abdomen with live ammunition, just hours earlier.
Before dawn on Monday, the army stormed the Al-Jalazone refugee camp and opened fire with live ammunition towards Palestinian youths who protested the incursion, shooting three young men.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulance crews transported three wounded young men, including Al-Hattab, to the hospital for treatment after they were shot with live rounds.
