A young Palestinian man succumbed on Wednesday night to the wounds he sustained from Israeli gunfire last July, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that Mohammad Herzallah, 30, died from severe injuries in the head after he was shot by Israeli forces during a military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
Herzallah, who was detained by Israel in 2013 and spent a year and a half behind Israeli bars, was shot with a live bullet in the head as the Israeli forces raided Nablus’ Old City on July 24.
