Palestinian media outlets report that Muhammad al-Malahi, a resident of Sharafat in East Jerusalem, has died of his wounds after being shot in the head earlier by settlers east of Bethlehem.

Police say they arrived at the scene and arrested a suspect involved in the incident.

Malahi is the seventh Palestinian allegedly killed by settlers — civilians or off-duty reservists — in the past month.
