Youth killed by Israeli gunfire near Hebron

A Palestinian youth who was shot and injured earlier today by Israeli occupation forces near Al-Fawwar refugee camp, in the southern West Bank province of Hebron, was announced dead of his wounds this evening, according to the Ministry of Health.

The Health Ministry identified the Palestinian youth killed as Sharif Hasan Rabbaa, 22 years old.

Earlier today, Palestinian security sources told WAFA that an Israeli army force stopped a Palestinian vehicle and opened gunfire at its driver, who was later identified as Sharif Hasan Rabbaa, critically injuring him, before arresting him in a bad health condition.

The latest Israeli crime brings up the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of the year to 43, including 9 children and an elderly woman.
