Sari Yousef Amr, a 25-year-old Palestinian, who was shot by Israeli forces earlier today has died, Wafa news agency reports.

Amr was wounded during a raid in Dura, south of Hebron, with Wafa citing his family saying Israeli forces fired live bullets inside their house, badly injuring Amr, before arresting him and his brother, Suhaib, 23.

He said the soldiers prevented anyone from approaching him and from providing treatment to him before they arrested him while he was bleeding and took Amr and Suhaib to an unknown destination.
