Ramallah: A Palestinian youth targeted by Israeli forces in clashes last week died on Monday, hospital officials said.

Eighteen-year-old Yousef Amira was shot during a July 30 clash between Israeli forces and Palestinian demonstrators that followed the funeral of a 10-year-old boy killed by Israeli forces a day earlier near the West Bank village of Nilin, Palestinian officials said.

Amira was struck in the head by what Palestinian medical workers described as a rubber bullet.
