RNA - The Palestinian health ministry affirmed that the wounded young man died in Beilinson Hospital, Palinfo reported.

Younis suffered a bullet injury last Saturday, after Israeli soldiers opened fire at him at Za’atara checkpoint on allegations that he tried to carry out a stabbing attack.

During his presence in the hospital, the Israeli occupation army held military trials in absentia for him and extended his detention without allowing his family or any lawyer to visit him.
