A 17-year-old Palestinian footballer died on Saturday, a week after he was shot during an attack by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to officials and relatives.
Dozens of mourners dressed in black carried the body of Fadi Hamdallah al-Nassan — a player for Al-Mughayyir Club and a member of the Palestinian national youth team — from the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah to his village for burial.
The Palestine Football Association accused Israeli forces of shooting Nassan while settlers were attacking the village on July 11.
The young player was reportedly shot in the thigh during the attack. His leg was amputated, and he later died from his injuries, the association said.
