RAMALLAH, Sept 12 (NNN-WAFA) – A Palestinian man died, days after being shot, during an Israeli raid a few days ago, in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian medics said yesterday.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said, in a press statement that, Hammad Abu Jelda, 24, succumbed to the critical wounds he sustained last Tuesday, during clashes with the Israeli soldiers, at the Jenin refugee camp in the city.
Abu Jelda was buried by dozens of Palestinian demonstrators, at the city’s cemetery, who chanted slogans calling for “revenging his death.”
He is a member of Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah Movement, and a former prisoner who spent two years in Israeli jails.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that, “the policy of the Israeli regime, aims at keeping the situation very tense, to block any opportunity for the resumption of the peace process that had been stalled since 2014.”
It called on the international community to pressure Israel, to stop its violence against the Palestinian people and force it to stop its “violations of international law.”
During the past few months, daily tension flared up in the West Bank, including confrontations between unarmed Palestinians and the Israeli army.– NNN-WAFA
