Ghaith Rafiq Yameen, 16, was today shot and killed by israeli gunfire during confrontations in the vicinity of Joseph's Tomb in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

The Ministry said that Ghaith Rafiq Yameen was critically injured after he was shot in the head by the zionist occupation forces. He was taken to Rafidia hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Meanwhile, 88 other Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets while others suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas fired at them by the zionist soldiers during confrontations in the eastern area of Nablus. (ILKHA)
