The man is a first year student in An Najah University, and has been threatened many times, and attacked many others.
The shooting at Hanbali came some hours after an attempt to abduct lawyer Faris Abu Al Hasan, the head of the international human rights solidarity association in the village of Rujib, east of the city of Nablus.
