Nablus: Palestinian Dies From Serious Wounds He Suffered

On Wednesday at dawn, Palestinian medical sources confirmed that a young man died from severe wounds he suffered a week earlier, after Nazi soldiers shot him near Nablus, in the northern part of the Nazi occupied West Bank.

The slain young man has been identified as Ahmad Hikmat Saif, 23, from Burqa village, north of Nablus.

The Nazi soldiers shot the young man with three live rounds in the chest and leg during protests that erupted when the army invaded Burqa.

Ahmad had undergone several surgeries and remained in a critical condition at the Intensive Care Unit in a hospital in Nablus until he succumbed to his serious wounds.

The medical director of the an-Najah Hospital in Nablus, Dr. Abdul-Karim Barqawi, said Ahmad suffered a gunshot wound to the spine before the bullet lodged in his lung and two bullets in the left thigh and leg.

He required twenty-five units of blood due to severe bleeding in the chest and abdomen and was hooked to respiratory machines but remained in a critical condition due to the severe damage to his internal organs.

The Nazi soldiers shot Ahmad when they invaded the western area of Burqa and attacked dozens of Palestinians who marched in solidarity with political prisoners held by Nazi and facing constant violations of their rights.

Burqa and surrounding villages witness constant Nazi invasions and violations by the soldiers and the illegal Nazi JEWISH colonialist settlers, who repeatedly try to reoccupy Palestinian lands in and around the location of the former Homesh colony, which Nazi army evacuated in the year 2005.
