The 17-year-old Palestinian boy, Ramzi Hamed, was pronounced dead on Monday morning, August 7, succumbing to critical injuries inflicted by Israeli settler gunfire in the town of Silwad, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health delivered a concise statement, confirming that Ramzi Fathi Hamed had been martyred as a result of severe injuries inflicted by Israeli occupation settlers’ bullets a few days ago in Silwad.
