A Palestinian toddler who was shot by Israeli troops in the West Bank has died from the injuries sustained in the attack. The 3-year-old died in Israel's Sheba Hospital Monday.

Palestinian activist and journalist Bilal Tamimi - who was also injured - said that the Israeli army was waiting to ambush a car at the entrance to Nabi Saleh and opened fire as it approached. The toddler was taken by an Israeli military helicopter to Safra Children's Hospital in Israel to be treated for head injuries,

Hundreds of Palestinians gathered Tuesday for the funeral of a three-year-old boy who died after being shot by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank last week.
