Nablus teen dies of wounds sustained at Gaza war rally
A Palestinian teenager wounded in clashes with the Israeli army three days ago died of his injuries on Monday, Palestinian medical and security sources say.
Hassan Ashur, 14, was shot in the abdomen with live fire as protesters clashed with Israeli troops at Beit Furik, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Palestinian sources tell AFP.
Ashur’s health rapidly deteriorated over the weekend, and he died Monday morning in hospital.
Israel’s army had no immediate comment on the incident.
