Shadi Ghabish, 38, was wounded in December 8 confrontation with IDF troops near Ramallah, PA officials say

A Palestinian wounded in early December during clashes with IDF troops near Ramallah has died of his injuries, the Palestinian health ministry said on Friday.

Shadi Ghabish died overnight at his home near the Jalazon refugee camp from complications after undergoing two operations at a Ramallah hospital to remove bullets from his body, the ministry said.

The 38-year-old was wounded on December 8 during clashes between IDF soldiers and a group of youths from the Jalazon camp, near the settlement of Beit El.

His death brings to 138 the number of Palestinians killed since the start of October, according to an AFP count. Most of the Palestinian dead were killed in the act of attacking Israelis.

At least 20 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean have been killed in the terror attacks.
