Large groups of Palestinians flocked to the greater Qalqilya area of the West Bank to mourn 14-year-old Fares Abu Samra, who was shot in the head by Israeli troops.

The crowd gathered for noon prayer in the Ali bin Abi Talib mosque in the city center.

Abu Samra was wounded by live ammunition during violent clashes in response to an arrest raid by Israeli occupation forces of the Al-Naqqar neighborhood, west of the city of Qalqilya at dawn on Thursday. 

The martyr was transferred to Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital, and later declared dead.
