The Palestinian Authority’s Health Ministry announces the death in Israeli custody of a Palestinian wounded by IDF gunfire targeting three young men whom the military accused of hurling stones in the northern West Bank.
Baraa Bilal Issa Qablan, 21, was arrested last night east of Qalqilya after sustaining serious gunshot wounds, the PA says.
According to the PA, he was detained along with the body of Arab Israeli Mumin Abu Riyash, 19, who was killed on the spot, and a third suspect who was not reported to have been injured.
The military said last night that troops from the Paratroopers Brigade’s 890th Battalion fired at three people hurling stones at motorists near the Palestinian town of Azzun.
The PA’s official news agency WAFA reported at the time that the three suspects were traveling in a car along the Nablus-Qalqilya road.
