On 23 December 2021, a Palestinian male died after his friend’s firearm misfired in Nablus. This incident highlights the state of proliferation of weapons and negligent care for firearms in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), jeopardizing public life and citizens’ the right to life.

The incident took place in front of the Najah University’s new campus, in Rafidia neighborhood, western Nablus city. Al-Kharouf was transported to the Arab Specialized Hospital in Nablus, and he was pronounced dead shortly after.

Spokesperson of the Palestinian police, Colonel Lo’ay Zreqiaqt, stated that A 20-year-old male was shot and killed in Nablus. He added that police have commenced investigation in the incident.

For his part, Colonel Amjad Faratehe, Media Director at Nablus Police, stated that the police opened an investigation into the death of a young male after he arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound.
