JERUSALEM (AFP) –  A young Palestinian died of his wounds from a Jerusalem bus bombing this week, an Israeli hospital said Wednesday.

The Palestinian health ministry named him as Abdel Hamid Abu Sorur, 19, from Aida refugee camp outside Bethlehem in the West Bank.

Mourners were paying condolence to his family in the camp where posters put up by Islamist movement Hamas hailed him as a “martyr”.

Israeli authorities have been investigating Tuesday’s bombing that wounded 21 people.
