A Palestinian youth has succumbed to critical wounds he sustained by Israeli occupation forces gunfire in Jericho on Saturday evening.

The occupation forces opened fire at a 25-year-old Palestinian during a raid on Qasr Hisham Street in the city center, wounding him in the upper body, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) said.

His condition was described as critical.

The Israeli army continues its dangerous escalation across the West Bank and Jerusalem, carrying out arrests, home raids, and infrastructure destruction, and firing live bullets against civilians, resulting in the martyrdom and injuries of dozens.
