Jasser al-Barghouti head of the Hamas National Relations Department in the West Bank stressed that the continuation of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) policy of killing children and their insistence on their criminal and racist behavior will not stop except with a comprehensive and extended intifada.
Barghouthi indicated that the martyrdom of the child Zaid Ghoneim 15 by the IOF bullets in Bethlehem on Friday will not succeed in breaking the steadfastness of the resistance heroes.
Palestinian medical sources announced the death of a Palestinian boy after he was shot by the IOF in the town of Al-Khader south of Bethlehem.
The Ministry of Health stated that the martyr Zaid Ghoneim died as a result of his injury during IOF shooting of live bullets at Palestinian youths in the village.
Other medical sources reported that the martyr was critically wounded by three bullets in the neck and back adding that he succumbed to his serious wounds soon after being transferred to Al-Yamamah Specialized Hospital in Bethlehem.
