A 16-year-old Palestinian teen shot dead, 75 injured in Nablus
A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was killed and 75 people were injured, during clashes that extended until dawn on Wednesday, with the Israeli occupation forces in the eastern region of Nablus.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a press statement published on Wednesday, “Boy, Ghaith Rafiq Yamin, 16, died succumbed to his injuries sustained with live bullets in the head, in the area of Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus.”
Most of the injured sustained injuries as a result of being targeted with rubber-coated metal bullets, and others suffered from teargas suffocation.
The Red Crescent said in a press statement, “Two young men were shot in the head, one of them very seriously, during the confrontations in the vicinity of Joseph’s tomb in Nablus, and they were transferred to Rafidia Hospital.”
Besides, one of them, Yamin, was later killed. The director of ambulance and emergency services at the Red Crescent in Nablus, Ahmed Jibril, stated that 15 people were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets, 41 others suffocated with tear gas, and a citizen was burned by a teargas canister, and another fell during the confrontations.
He added that the occupation forces attacked the Red Crescent ambulance crew directly with gas bombs while transporting a childbirth, which led to the crew suffocating.
He indicated that the patient was transferred to Rafidia Hospital to complete treatment.
The occupation forces stormed the eastern area of Nablus, to secure the storming of settlers.
While local sources confirmed that the occupation stormed the eastern region near the al-Ghawi junction, east of Nablus, amid clashes and heavy firing of bullets and teargas canisters.
The sources said that the storming of the occupation forces came to secure the protection of the settlers’ buses to storm Joseph’s tomb.
