Palestinian leader Daoud al-Zubaidi died on Sunday from wounds suffered during a shootout with Israeli forces two days ago in the flashpoint Jenin refugee camp, the Israeli hospital treating him said.<\/p>\n
Daoud al-Zubaidi, 43, was shot in his abdomen during an Israeli raid on Friday at the camp in the northern occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n
The Jenin area has been repeatedly raided by Israeli forces for weeks during escalating violence between Palestinians and Israelis.
\nZubaidi was taken to a hospital in Jenin in critical condition and from there transferred to Rambam hospital in the northern Israeli city of Haifa.<\/p>\n
A Rambam spokesman told AFP that Zubaidi had "died of his wounds" on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Zubaidi was a brother of Zakaria al-Zubaidi, who had headed the armed wing of the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and briefly escaped from Israeli prison last year.<\/p>\n
Daoud al-Zubaidi was himself considered to be a prominent leader in Jenin.<\/p>\n
At least 12 other Palestinians were wounded during Israel's Friday operations in and around Jenin, which also claimed the life of an Israeli special forces police officer.<\/p>\n
Israel's army said it targeted Jenin on Friday because many of the perpetrators in a wave of anti-Israeli attacks over the past few weeks came from the area. Its forces shot and killed prominent Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was there to cover the raid. <\/p>\n
Her death, which occurred while she was on duty and clearly identifiable in a press jacket, and the subsequent Israeli violence at her funeral, has sparked outrage worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
