HEBRON, August 25, 2025 (WAFA) – Palestinian detainee Musab Al-Eida, 20, was pronounced dead on Monday after succumbing to critical injuries sustained when he was shot by Israeli forces last Thursday in the center of Hebron.
The Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs informed the Ministry of Health of El-Aida’s death, confirming that he had died of severe wounds inflicted by live fire in the Tel Rumeida area of central Hebron.
Israeli forces stationed at the military checkpoint in Tel Rumeida had opened live fire at Al-Eida, critically injuring him before detaining him while he was wounded.
The Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a joint statement that Al-Eida was pronounced dead at Israel’s Shaare Zedek Hospital, which had notified his family. He had been shot by Israeli forces on August 21 and subsequently detained, with his detention extended yesterday at Ofer prison despite his critical condition.
The two institutions described the shooting as an attempted field execution, similar to the targeting of other Palestinians who were later killed. They added that Al-Eida’s death is part of the ongoing pattern of Israeli crimes, including extrajudicial killings, which have escalated during the ongoing genocidal war over the past two years.
