The undated photo released by Palestinian media shows Tamer Nasharti. He succumbed to injuries suffered during a recent Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.

A Palestinian shot and critically injured by Israeli forces during a recent confrontation in the occupied West Bank has died of his wounds.

The 23-year-old, identified as Tamer Nasharti from the Jenin refugee camp, was pronounced dead at Ramallah hospital on Monday after a few days, the Palestinian Information Center reported, citing the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Resistance groups have condemned the killing.

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed over the course of 2022 in attacks by Israeli forces in and around Jenin. The city is a focal point of Palestinian protests against the regime of Israel. In the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip, Israel has killed nearly 200 Palestinians, including 43 children, in the same period. The United Nations says the regime has killed the highest number of Palestinians in the West Bank in 16 years.

Local and international rights groups have condemned Israel’s excessive use of force and “shoot-to-kill policy” against Palestinians.

Israeli forces arrest 17 Palestinians, including pregnant woman

Israeli forces also detained at least 17 Palestinians in a large-scale arrest campaign in several areas across the West Bank and al-Quds. The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said among those detained was 36-year-old Nihal Mohammad Ribee, who is in her fifth month of pregnancy. She was forcibly taken from her home in the town of Yatta in southern West Bank. Ribee’s husband and minor son were already being held behind Israeli bars.
