RAMALLAH, March 7 (Xinhua) -- A Palestinian youth died Thursday two weeks after an Israeli soldier shot him during a demonstration in the West Bank, medical sources said.

Mohammed Asfour, 22, died at an Israeli hospital, the sources added. He was hit with a rubber bullet that caused fracture to his skull.

The death of a Palestinian prisoner during interrogation sparked protests and clashes with Israeli forces across the West Bank over the past week.
