Israeli injured in shooting in West Bank dies in hospital
An Israeli man injured in a shooting incident in the occupied West Bank has died, his family says.
At least four Israelis suffered injuries after being targeted in a drive-by shooting that took place near the settlement of Shvut Rachel, north of Ramallah city, on Monday night.
On Tuesday, the family of one of the victims, identified as Moshe Malachi Rosenfeld, said in a statement that he had died in hospital.
“With great sorrow, the Rosenfeld family announce the death of Moshe Malachi Rosenfeld,” the statement said.
The injured Israelis, all of them men and in their 20s, were reportedly riding in a car on a road in the area when they were shot at by a passing vehicle.
Reports had earlier said that the injuries of one of the victims were serious while the three others were moderately wounded.
The development comes as Israeli forces and settlers regularly engage in violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian teenager on June 21 in the Ras al-Amud neighborhood of East al-Quds (Jerusalem). Video footage released after the incident showed the boy was shot by the Israeli forces while he posed no danger to them.
A day earlier, another 15-year-old Palestinian boy was wounded by Israeli forces during clashes in the city of al-Bireh, located 15 kilometers (nine miles) north of al-Quds.
Over half a million Israelis reside in over 120 settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East al-Quds, in 1967.
