Palestinian youngster’s fingers amputated

Friday 24-March-2017

A Palestinian young man was injured Friday afternoon after an unknown object exploded in his hand while he was cleaning his house’s garden south of Jenin.

Local sources told a PIC reporter that Islam Aliwa 20 lost 3 of his fingers when a remnant of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) exploded.

Aliwa’s health situation is stable after undergoing a surgery in hospital the sources added.

Palestinians held the IOF responsible for the incident due to leaving their military remnants close to Palestinian houses in the West Bank during and after military drills in addition to the widespread minefields in the area.
