The Palestinian Health Ministry says the martyr was targeted by a bullet straight in the head, leading to a complete laceration of the skull.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health on Thursday confirmed that 25-year-old Amir Imad Abu Khadijeh was shot dead this morning in an Israeli occupation forces raid in the village of Izbat Shoufa, southeast of the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm.
The Ministry indicated that the martyr was brought to a hospital in Tulkarm after he was shot in the lower extremities and hit by a bullet in the head that led to a complete laceration of the skull.
Palestinian news agency WAFA cited witnesses as saying that a large Israeli occupation military force raided the village, closed its main entrance, and prevented movement while surrounding Abu Khadijeh’s house.
The agency also cited witnesses as saying that gunfire was heard during the siege of the house that resulted in the martyrdom of 25-year-old Abu Khadijeh.
According to local sources, the martyr Abu Khadija is the leader and founder of the Tulkarm Brigade – Rapid Response.
With Abu Khadijeh’s death, the number of Palestinians killed at the hand of Israeli occupation forces or illegal Israeli settlers rises to 89.
