Palestinian firebomber who was shot by IDF dies
A Palestinian shot and wounded by Israeli troops last week after he hurled a firebomb died of his wounds on Thursday in hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus, his family says.
Ahmed Khatabteh, 25, was wounded on Friday in clashes with troops in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, in which another 51 Palestinians were wounded.
Khatabteh was one of two assailants who threw a firebomb at an Israeli car, apparently missing their target but causing the female driver to lose control of the vehicle and overturn. The driver escaped unharmed.
