Palestinian Succumbs to Injuries After Clashes Near Ramallah

RAMALLAH (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Palestinian young man who carried out a car-ramming and stabbing operation on Wednesday in northern Ramallah died of critical bullet injuries, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

The health ministry said Harith Jabara from Deir al-Ghusun town, northeast of Tulkarem, was proclaimed dead on Wednesday after he succumbed to serious bullet injuries he sustained in the afternoon when an armed settler opened fire at him in the West Bank.

Jabara reportedly carried out the operation on the Nablus-Ramallah road near the illegal settlement of Shilo before he was gunned down by a settler. Two settlers were injured in the incident.

Following the operation, the Israeli occupation forces blocked the road and prevented Palestinian ambulances from reaching the young man, who was bleeding at the time.

Later, the IOF allowed settlers to attack Palestinian vehicles in nearby areas.
