A 75-year-old Palestinian activist has on Monday succumbed to wounds sustain after having been deliberately run over by Israeli police earlier this month.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said Suleiman Hathalin died of critical wounds he sustained after being deliberately run over by an Israeli police vehicle at the entrance to Umm al-Khair village in Masafer Yatta, about two weeks ago.
Hathalin sustained critical injuries in the head, chest, stomach and hips. He was rushed to a hospital in Al-Khalil (known as Hebron in Hebrew) where he succumbed to his wounds today.
On January 5, Zionist forces attacked Sheikh Hathalin, known as a popular resistance figure in Al-Khalil, as he tried to counter the confiscation of civilian vehicles at the entrance to the Bedouin village of Umm al-Khair.
