A young Palestinian has succumbed to his wounds a week after he was run over by a Palestinian security vehicle as it dispersed a protest against the Israeli bombing campaign on Gaza.
The Palestinian Authority has taken responsibility for the death of Mahmoud Rafaat Abu Laban, who was run over in central Ramallah on 17 October amid a crackdown on rallies across the occupied West Bank.
