Court grants wounded Palestinian protester permission to leave Gaza to save second leg
A board of three Supreme Court justices unanimously rule that 20-year-old Palestinian be allowed to leave Gaza for urgent medical care in Ramallah to save his remaining leg after the first one required amputation due to injuries sustained from IDF gunfire during a protest along the coastal enclave.
The court accepts the petition filed by the Adalah and Al Mezan rights group, ruling against the view of the state, which asserted that Yousef Kronz not be accommodated due to his participation in the Gaza protests
