The Palestinian 16-year-old girl Fatima Taqatqa died of her wounds Saturday evening after more than two months of being shot and critically injured by Israeli occupation forces following an alleged car ramming attack.
Taqatqa from the town of Beit Fajjar in the southern occupied West Bank district of Bethlehem was directly shot by Israeli forces after she drove a car into a group of Israeli soldiers at a junction near the illegal Israeli settlement bloc of Gush Etzion on March 15.
She was taken to Israel’s Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem where she was treated for a critical head injury and was eventually pronounced dead Palestinian medical sources said Saturday.
