A Palestinian man yesterday succumbed to wounds that he sustained during a raid by Israeli forces in Nablus city in 2002.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official who monitors settlement activity in the northern occupied West Bank, told Ma’an that Raed Fouad Hijjeh, 38, had been hit with bullet shrapnel in the arm and head, in addition to suffering from severe tear gas inhalation during the 2002 raid.
Hijjeh, who was just 24 at the time he was injured, was a former member of Palestinian security forces and a resident of the Nablus area village of Burqa.
Following his injuries, Hijjeh permanently lost his ability to walk, talk or move, and underwent treatment in hospitals for more than a decade.
Hijjeh was pronounced dead at the National Hospital in Nablus yesterday.
