Mahmoud Jamal Hamdan was staying in the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp, where he was shot during an Israeli army raid.
After being wounded, Hamdan was arrested along with five other people from the same family, including four brothers aged between 50 and 40 and the son of one of them.
The Israeli army claimed that the 22-year-old Palestinian had been involved in a shooting on a road outside the city of Jericho. Israel imposed a strict closure on the ancient city in the eastern West Bank following the attack, which resulted in the death of an Israeli settler.
