Palestinian teen from Tulkarem dies in Israeli hospital
Zaher Tahseen Raddad, 19, from the occupied West Bank, who had sustained serious injuries on July 23 in an attack on Tulkarem, has died in Israel’s Meir Hospital.
Raddad was taken by Israeli forces along with three other young men after a drone attack on the house they were in. The Wafa news agency and other Palestinian sources confirmed his death.
A joint statement from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said Raddad was shot by Israeli forces and used as a human shield in front of an Israeli military vehicle during the raid.
