RAMALLAH, May 15 (Xinhua) -- A Palestinian died of injuries he sustained during an Israeli raid on Friday in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, the Palestinian medics said on Sunday.
Dawoud Zubeidi, a Palestinian man from Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, was shot during the raid on the camp.
On Saturday, Zubeidi's family said they were informed by Israeli authorities that their son was under Israeli custody despite his critical health condition.
He was moved to Rambam Hospital in the northern Israeli city of Haifa on Friday after a critical deterioration in his health condition resulting from the gunfire injury.
Zubeidi is the brother of Zakaria Zubeidi, one of the six Palestinian prisoners who tunneled out of Israel's high-security prison on Gilboa in September 2021. The six were recaptured a few days later by the Israeli security forces.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that at least 13 Palestinians were wounded in Friday's clashes in the city and the nearby village of Burqin in the northern West Bank.
On Saturday, an Israeli soldier was dead after being wounded in the raid, according to the Israeli media.
The Israeli army has been carrying out frequent raids on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp to hunt Palestinian militants. On Wednesday, Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed amid an Israeli raid in the West Bank.
Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians stopped in 2014 following deep disputes on Israeli settlements and establishing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders. ■
