Israeli gunfire martyrs Palestinian teen

JERUSALEM (AA): A Palestinian teen shot by Israeli forces last week died at an Israeli hospital on Saturday.

Palestinian Health Ministry said in a written statement that 20-year-old Omer Avni Yunus — shot by Israeli troops on April 20 — succumbed to his wounds at a hospital near Tel Aviv.

Yunus was heavily injured after getting shot by Israeli gunfire in a checkpoint in occupied West Bank.

Having shot by real bullets, Yunus was claimed to attempt a stabbing attack.

Israeli troops took him to a hospital near Tel Aviv following the gunfire.

Similar incidents took place in the West Bank in the past with the Israeli military citing stabbing attempts by Palestinians as a reason for opening fire.
