Angry crowd takes part in funeral of Palestinian youth killed by Israeli forces in Jenin

Jenin (QNN)- Hundreds of Palestinians took part today in the funeral procession of 21-year-old Ahmad Massad, from the village of Burqin, who was shot dead by Israeli forces in Jenin earlier on Wednesday.

At dawn today, Israeli occupation forces raided Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp where confrontations erupted between the Palestinian youths and the soldiers.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Massad was shot in the head with a bullet during the Israeli miltary raid of Jenin and three others were also injured, including two youths aged 19 and a teenager aged 18.

Hours later, Massad succumbed to his critical injury that he sustained in the head.

Massad’s death brings the total number of Palestinians in the West Bank killed by Israeli forces this year to 51.

Yesterday, 20-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim Oweidat was also shot dead in the head by Israeli live bullets at dawn in Aqabat Jaber camp, near Jericho.
