A 21-year-old Palestinian youth succumbed to his wounds three weeks after suffering from a serious head injury following an Israeli raid on Al-Aqsa mosque during the holy month of Ramadan.

Walid Al-Sharif has been fighting for his life for the past three weeks; he fell into a coma on April 24 and was in a critical condition since.

Al-Sharif's head or neck was reportedly targeted by a sponge-tipped Israeli bullet, according to his family and witnesses.

At the time of his injury, Israeli occupation forces raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and Al-Sharif was one of 57 Palestinians injured during the brutal attacks on worshippers.

During Ramadan, thousands of Palestinians challenged Israeli restrictive and repressive measures, making their way to Al-Aqsa Mosque to pray. Yet, the Israeli occupation forces turn the third holiest place for Muslims into a battlefield.

The Israeli occupation forces fired heavy rubber-coated and live bullets at worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and threw tear gas canisters and sound bombs at them.

Instead of performing their prayers, Palestinian worshipers were rushed to the hospital in moderate and serious conditions.

More than 200 Palestinians have been wounded in and around the Al-Aqsa mosque during the attacks.

Furthermore, at least 23 Palestinians have been martyred since March 22, according to AFP.
