Jenin: 2 Palestinians die of wounds after Israeli occupation forces raid

A Palestinian detainee was pronounced dead at an Israeli hospital after he succumbed to a serious bullet wound sustained when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him and other young men in Jenin a week ago, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society was quoted as saying that Kifah Dabaya, 34, of Kafr Dan town in Jenin, died of a serious bullet wound at Israel’s Rambam Hospital after he was detained along with two other wounded men during an IOF raid on 6 August. The occupation forces took away Dabaya, Jihad Hussein and Ahmed Farahati after opening fire at them and wounding them during a raid on a house in Kafr Qud village, west of Jenin.

Meanwhile, another man identified as Sobhi Al-Bad from Jenin city died of a serious bullet wound at the Jenin Hospital on Sunday evening. Hospital Director Wisam Bakr said that Al-Bad died of the wound he sustained last week during an IOF raid in Jenin.

Five Palestinian men were martyred last Tuesday, 6 August, and six others, including Al-Bad, suffered shrapnel and bullet wounds in the IOF raid.
