Palestinian girl joins martyrs

A 15-year-old Palestinian girl who was wounded in the Israeli attack on Jenin city and camp passed away early on Wednesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement.

Sadeel Naghnaghia died after succumbing to injuries she sustained when the Israeli occupation forces shot her during the offensive and the shanty town on Monday. Bullets had her in the head causing critical cuts.

Her death increased the casualty toll of the Israeli offensive on Jenin to seven martyrs and more than 90 injured including 20 in critical condition.

The ministry confirmed that the number of the Palestinians who had joined the martyrs' ranks since early this year climbed to 174.
