The 30-year-old was reportedly wearing a reflective vest
when shot. Kufr Qaddum has been holding weekly protests for years
against the closure of its main access road.
Israeli troops shot an Italian national in the chest with live
ammunition Friday afternoon in the West Bank village of Kufr Qaddum,
Palestinian medical officials and the International Solidarity Movement
(ISM) reported.
An 18-year-old Palestinian protester was also hit with live fire, according to the reports.
The .22 caliber bullet entered 30-year-old Patrick Corsi’s chest and
remained lodged in his abdomen, a statement from ISM said. He remains
hospitalized in Nablus, according to Ma’an.
“The bullet entered Patrick’s chest near a main blood vessel, but
thankfully did not puncture it,” said ISM media coordinator Ally Cohen.
