Ahmed Seif, 23, was shot in the stomach
three times during confrontations with occupation troops in the village of
Burqa, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank on March 1.
He was rushed to hospital in
Nablus, where
he died on Wednesday morning.
AFP reporters in Burqa saw a procession of
hundreds march through the village on Wednesday during Seif's funeral.
Clashes had erupted last week in
Burqa after
a demonstration in support of Palestinian prisoners, Wafa reported.
Seif's death was the latest in a string of confrontations
that have seen at least 10 other Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation
forces since February 8.
On Sunday, 16-year-old Yamen Jafal was shot
dead by Israeli forces near the town of Abu Dis, after he attacked Israeli
troops with petrol bombs. That same day, 19-year old Karim Jamal Al-Qawasmi was
killed after stabbing and wounding a police officer at the Bab Huta Gate
in the Old City of Jerusalem.
About 475,000 Israeli settlers live in the
West Bank in settlements that are illegal under international law, alongside
nearly 2.9 million Palestinians.
