A 19-year-old Palestinian youth Ibrahim Hamed from Silwad town near Ramallah was shot on Wednesday morning by a Jewish settler on Street 60 which is used by settlers in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported that the settlers’ shooting attack took place when Palestinian youths tried to close the bypass road in the area as a solidarity move with Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails who have entered day 31 of consecutive fasting.
Local sources said that Israeli occupation forces arrested the wounded young man and barred Palestinian medics from approaching him.
