A Palestinian man who was shot and detained by Israeli troops during a raid in a refugee camp near Jericho earlier today has died.
The Israel Defense Forces says the suspect was shot as he attempted to flee a hideout apartment in the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp, where two alleged terrorists behind a recent deadly shooting attack were holed up.
He was taken by the army to a hospital in Israel, but later succumbed to his wounds.
The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says it is notified of the man’s death, naming him as 22-year-old Mahmoud Hamdan.
