Jerusalem, Sep 25 (EFE).- A Palestinian man died Wednesday from gunshot wounds to the chest after being hit by Israeli fire during a military raid, with four others injured, in the Al Fawar refugee camp, south of Hebron.
With his death, there are now 717 Palestinians – including 160 children – who have died to Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7; when Israeli military repression in the West Bank increased.
«Our teams in Hebron are treating a critically wounded 29-year-old man with a bullet in his chest in Al Fawar (refugee camp). He is being transferred to hospital,» the Palestinian Red Crescent reported Tuesday night, when the incident occurred.
The deceased has been identified as Yahya Daniel Awad, according to medical sources. At least four other people were injured, moderately to lightly, in the foot, shoulder and back.
Sources told Palestinian news agency Wafa that the factions declared a general strike in the Al Fawar camp in honor of Awad, who they say was married, had a one-year-old daughter and his wife was pregnant with another girl. EFE
