An Israeli border guard has died of his wounds after being injured Sunday by Palestinian fire at the site known as "Joseph's Tomb" in the northern West Bank town of Nablus, a military spokesman said.
The man was the first member of the Israeli security forces to die in four days of violence that has rocked the Palestinian territories.
He was named as Medhat Yusef, 19, an Israeli Arab from the northern village of Beit Jann -- JERUSALEM (AFP)
