A young Palestinian man who was shot by Israeli forces during an attack on a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank has succumbed to his injuries, medics say.

Twenty-year-old Ali Safi died of wounds sustained to his chest on Wednesday, confirmed Dr. Ahmad Betawi, the director of Ramallah hospital.

He was shot by Israeli troops at a Ramallah refugee camp last week.

Witnesses said soldiers opened fire on stone-throwing Palestinians who were protesting against the construction of an Israeli wall between a settlement and a refugee camp in the area.

The incident came amid Tel Aviv regime’s expropriation of land in the West Bank in violation of international law.

In recent months, Israeli forces have frequently raided the houses of Palestinians in the West Bank, arresting dozens of people, who are then transferred to Israeli prisons, where they are kept without any charges brought against them.
