Alwaght- A 16-year-old Palestinian girl shot by Israeli regime forces has succumbed to her wounds and was buried on Saturday.
Nuf Uqab Abd al-Jabar Infiaat was laid to rest in her hometown of Yaabad, southwest of Jenin in occupied West Bank.
According to Ma'an news, Infiaat was shot and critically injured on Wednesday after she stabbed and lightly injured an Israeli regime trooper near the entrance of an illegal Zionist settlement in the Jenin district, and succumbed to her wounds a day later.
Footage was released depicting Israeli settlers insulting the young Palestinian as she lay wounded on the ground, and telling her she deserved to die.
Hundreds of mourners crowded outside the Infiaat's home, as relatives and friends bid her a final farewell. Mourners then carried the body to the town's main mosque for a funeral prayer, before marching to the town's cemetery where she was buried.
Yaabad Mayor Samir Abu Bakr delivered a funeral oration at the cemetery, in which he said he held the Israeli occupation responsible for the sufferings of the Palestinian people.
Infiaat was the 27th Palestinian to have been killed by Israelis since the beginning of 2017, ten of whom were minors and four women and girls. In the same time period, seven Israelis have been killed by Palestinians.
This latest incident comes after Palestinian Ministry of Information has revealed that Israeli regime forces murdered over 3,000 Palestinian kids between 2000, when the Second Intifada began, and April 2017.
The report was issued on Thursday on the occasion of the International Day for Protection of Children on Thursday with the Palestinian Authority (PA) condemning the continuous harm brought unto Palestinian children by the Israeli regime since the Second Intifada.
