Jenin, (The Palestine Information Centre)A young Palestinian man has succumbed to injuries sustained during the Israeli occupation’s raid on the West Bank city of Jenin last month.
The 20-year-old man identified as Ezzedine Kanaan was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while he was en route to a center to donate blood to victims of the Israeli raid.
The body of Ezzedine, who was from the town of Jaba’ in southern Jenin, will be laid to rest on Saturday afternoon prayers.
Israel launched deadly aerial and ground attacks on the refugee camp of Jenin in early July.
The incursion, the fiercest into the West Bank in two decades, left 13 citizens dead, including five children. Over 140 others were injured, 30 of them seriously.
Under the claim of pursuing “wanted” Palestinians, Israeli forces routinely raid various cities of the West Bank, sparking violent clashes with the residents. The regime’s brutal aggression has resulted in the death of more than 200 Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories and Gaza this year. The majority of these casualties have occurred in the West Bank.
