A Palestinian youth succumbed this morning to injury by Israeli occupation forces this morning during confrontations that took place during the former's storming of the Al-Aqsa holy Mosque compound during the Islamic month of Ramadan.

The young Palestinian man identified as, Walid Sharif, 24, was critically injured in the confrontations that arose on the third Friday of Ramadan in Al-Aqsa squares.

Al-Sharif was directly hit with a sponge-tipped bullet in the head by Israeli occupying forces, which caused bleeding in the brain and fractures in the bones of the skull, detained despite his critical injury, and subjected to deliberate medical negligence as he was cut off from oxygen 28 minutes after his detention.

The second half of last Ramadan witnessed almost daily confrontations between Muslim worshipers and colonial Israeli soldiers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, during which hundreds of worshipers were injured, and others were detained.
