Palestinian Youth Dies Month after Being Shot during Israeli Raid in West Bank
The WAFA news agency said on Saturday that Ezzedin Kanan, from the town of Jaba near Jenin, was shot in the head on July 3 during one of the most intense Israeli military aggression in the occupied West Bank.
The body of Ezzedine, who was from the town of Jaba' in southern Jenin, was laid to rest on Saturday after noon prayers.
Israel launched deadly aerial and ground attacks on the refugee camp of Jenin in early July.
The incursion, the fiercest into the West Bank in two decades, left 13 citizens dead, including five children. Over 140 others were injured, 30 of them seriously.
Under the claim of pursuing "wanted" Palestinians, Israeli forces routinely raid various cities of the West Bank, sparking violent clashes with the residents. The regime's brutal aggression has resulted in the death of more than 200 Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories and Gaza this year. The majority of these casualties have occurred in the West Bank.
