The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourns the death of 16-year-old Abdallah Hamed, who succumbed to wounds that he sustained after being shot by Israeli occupation forces near the West Bank town of Silwad east of Ramallah on Friday evening.

We offer our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones, and to his detained brother, Ahmad Hamed.

This crime reflects the terrorist and despicable nature of the Israeli occupation and its disregard for human rights conventions or humanitarian principles, which requires prosecuting its leaders and putting an end to its troops' aggression.
