A Palestinian child succumbed this evening to critical wounds he sustained earlier today by Israeli gunfire during a military raid into the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to the ministry of health
The ministry said that Qusai Radwan Waked, 14, who was severely injured by Israeli gunfire during a military raid in Jenin earlier today, succumbed to his wounds.
Israeli forces also raided the city and surrounded a house in al-Jabriyat neighborhood and detained former prisoner Jibreel al-Zubaidi, who spent 11 years behind Israeli bars.
Jibreel al-Zubaidi is the brother of freedom fighter Zakaria Zubaidi, from Jenin refugee camp who was able last year to escape from Israeli prison with five other freedom fighters after digging a tunnel but were all later caught. Their brother, Dawoud, was also killed by Israeli forces.
To be noted, three Palestinian youths were shot in the abdomen and sustained critical injuries during the Israeli military raid into Jenin city and refugee camp earlier today.
With the killing of Waked, the number of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since the beginning of 2023 has risen to 47, including four who were killed by settlers’ gunfire.
