Palestinian teen dies of wounds sustained in East Jerusalem clashes
Milad Said Ayyash, 17, was shot in the stomach on Friday during violent clashes near Silwan days before planned demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba.
Milad Said Ayyash, 17, was hospitalized in critical condition in East Jerusalem Al-Mukassad hospital shortly after he was shot in the stomach. The doctors said he had no pulse when he arrived, and had already lost a great deal of blood. A Palestinian activist told Haaretz that Ayyash was allegedly shot by a security guard near Beit Yonatan in East Jerusalem. Leftist actvists said the guard shot him after a Molotov cocktail was hurled in the direction of the neighborhood which has been the site of growing tension over the last few years. Activists added that the bullet removed from his wound during surgery came from a gun and not a rifle, which is predominantly used by security guards, as opposed to Israel Defense Forces soldiers.
