Young Palestinian Dies of Wounds Sustained by Israeli Gunfire in Al-Quds

TEHRAN (IQNA) – A 23-year-old Palestinian who had been shot in the head by a rubber-coated metal bullet fired by Israeli occupation forces succumbed to his wounds on Saturday.

Walid al-Sharif, a resident of the Beit Hanina neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds, was shot in the head at Al-Aqsa Mosque on April 22, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

He has died in the hospital after being in a coma since his injury, according to his brother Abdul Rahman.

Israeli forces arrested al-Sharif after shooting him, exacerbating his injury before he was taken to hospital.

Al-Sharif was injured on the third Friday of Ramadan when Israeli occupation forces attacked the Palestinian worshippers injuring 152 people and detaining more than 500 others.
