Haaretz 5 Sept by Nir Hasson -- A Palestinian teenager who was critically wounded earlier this week during a protest in East Jerusalem, is clinically dead, doctors at Hadassah Ein Kerem told the family on Thursday 4th September. The 16-year old’s relatives said an Israeli soldier shot him at close range in the head with a rubber-coated steel bullet. Jerusalem police sources said the boy, Muhammad Abd Al-Majid Sunuqrut, had been shot in the leg with a sponge-tipped bullet in Wadi Joz, fell and hurt his head. Sunuqrut is the
first person to be seriously hurt in the wave of violence washing over East Jerusalem since the beginning of July. If he dies and is declared a shaheed (an Islamic martyr), it could trigger more violence in the city, Palestinian officials said. The teen’s uncle, Motabi Sunuqrut, said the boy had not even taken part in the demonstrations on August 31 and the area was quiet at the time of the incident. “Ten minutes earlier I returned home and nothing was happening. He left home and was talking to his aunt on the phone, when suddenly he was shot at close range. After he fell the soldiers went on beating him and wouldn’t let anyone come near him to treat him.”
