Disabled Palestinian Man Dies of Wounds Inflicted by Israeli Troops
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A disabled Palestinian man died of injuries he had sustained last August when Israeli forces fired live gunshots at him at Qalandia checkpoint, north of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds, according to his family.
Abdul-Nasser Walid Halaweh, 56 years old from the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, was shot and injured by Israeli troops on August 16 while attempting to cross the checkpoint, WAFA news agency reported.
His sister said back then the regime’s soldiers manning the checkpoint shouted at him to stop while trying to cross the checkpoint, but due to his hearing disability, he did not hear the soldiers, who were quick to open gunfire at him in the feet causing him serious fragmentations in the bones.
He was announced dead on Friday due to complications resulting from his wounds.
