A young Palestinian man has succumbed to his injuries following last week’s Israeli attack on a neighborhood in the city of Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Palestine’s official Wafa news agency cited Wissam Baker, the head of the Khalil Suleiman Governmental Hospital in Jenin, as making the announcement early on Sunday.

Baker said Hamad Mustafa Abu Jeldah died from critical gunshot wounds after the Israeli occupation forces had raided Jenin last Tuesday. The 24-year-old Palestinian was being treated in the hospital and had undergone several surgeries.

“A massive march was launched in front of the hospital in Jenin, roaming the streets of the city and its camp, and mourners raised the body of the martyr on their shoulders and chanted slogans condemning the crimes of the occupation and its continuous aggression against Palestinian people,” the agency said.

The young Palestinian man was married and his wife is pregnant with their first child. Abu Jeldah had spent two and a half years in the occupying regime’s jails before he was released earlier this year.

Palestinian authorities in Jenin declared Sunday as a day of mourning following Abu Jeldah’s martyrdom.
