TEHRAN, Aug. 07 (MNA) – A 17-year-old Palestinian youth who was shot and critically wounded by an Israeli regime settler a few days ago near the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, has died of his wounds on Monday.

The youth, identified as Ramzi Fathi Hamed, was shot by a settler when he was in a car near the settlement of Ofra, according to the mayor of Silwad, Raed Hamed, WAFA reported. 

Medics said the youth died of a severe pulmonary attack while getting treatment at a Ramallah hospital after he was shot by two bullets in the chest and belly.

Reports said the shooter was the guard of Ofra settlement.

Earlier on Sunday, a Zionist settler has run over a four-year-old Palestinian child near the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, leaving him in a critical condition.
