A Palestinian citizen was pronounced dead on Thursday morning after he succumbed to bullet injuries he sustained about five months ago when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem.

According to the Palestinian health ministry and local sources, 59-year-old Ibrahim Mahameed suffered bullet injuries in his back and abdomen on October 19, 2023 as he was trying to save his child Taha, who was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers, and pull him to a safe place.

Martyr Mahameed was rushed at the time to the Thabet Thabet Hospital in Tulkarem in critical condition, where he had stayed since then in the intensive care unit until doctors announced his death today.

Video footage circulated on social media showed the moment Mahameed was injured as he tried to pull his wounded son who fell to the ground after being shot by Israeli soldiers.
