Watch| Grieving crowd takes part in funeral of Palestinian youth shot dead by Israeli forces

Nablus (QNN)- Hundreds of grieving Palestinian mourners participated on Thursday in the funeral of Palestinian youth Bakeer Hashash, who was shot dead by Israeli forces during a dawn raid on Balata refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank.

21-year-old Hashash succumbed to wounds he sustained after being shot by the Israeli occupation soldiers during a dawn raid on Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus.

He was rushed to a hospital to get urgent medical treatment and to save his life. However, he was announced dead, hours later.

Following his death, dozens of peaceful Palestinians demonstrated against his killing. However, the occupation forces brutally dispersed the demonstrations.

Israeli forces have killed thousands of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories over the years, and several international human rights groups say Israeli forces have used excessive force in attacking and subduing Palestinians.

“This policy [opening fire] reflects deep disregard for Palestinian lives and property and enables the continued use of lethal force, crucial to enabling Israel to retain its violent control over millions of Palestinians,” said Israeli human rights group, B’Tselem.
