A Palestinian official says a 21-year-old Palestinian man, Raed Al-Salihi, has died of wounds incurred during an arrest by Israeli soldiers in August.

According to Issa Qaraqe, head of the Palestinian Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs, Salihi, who was reportedly a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group, was arrested from his home in the Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem on August 9.

During his arrest, Salihi was reportedly shot and critically wounded by IDF forces. He was being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
