Jerusalem: A Palestinian man died on Saturday of injuries he suffered in clashes with Israeli soldiers near the border of the Gaza Strip.

The clashes took place on Friday in the Al-Bureij refugee camp during demonstrations against US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Jamal Mohamed Musleh, 20, from the central town of al-Maghazi, died after being admitted to a hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

At least 50 protestors were shot with live rounds when the Palestinians approached the border with Israel and clashed with the soldiers. Five of them were in critical condition, the Ministry was quoted as saying by Efe news.

On December 6, Trump announced his decision on Jerusalem and said that the US will move its embassy to the holy city from Tel Aviv.

Sixteen Palestinians have died since then. According to the Health Ministry, 13 people died from gunshots, two Islamic Jihad militants died in Gaza while preparing to launch a missile at Israel and a woman died due to heart attack which she suffered when the Israeli Army raided her home in the West Bank.

Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in Gaza and the West Bank for the fourth consecutive Friday, in protests that often end in clashes with the Israeli security forces.

Bengaluru, Dec 26: A Japanese national, Hiroshi Sasaki, who works in Bengaluru, lost Rs 35.5 lakh after being 'digitally arrested' by cyber fraudsters, police said, on Thursday.

 

The incident occurred between December 12 and 14, police added.

Sasaki, who lives in a flat near Dairy Circle, received a phone call on December 12. The caller was claiming to be from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. The caller informed him that his phone number would be blocked due to its unauthorised use.

To avoid the disconnection Sasaki was asked to dial a number.

Upon dialling the number, he was immediately connected to a WhatsApp call from someone claiming to be from the Cyber Crime wing of Mumbai Police. The caller informed Sasaki that he was involved in a money laundering case.

The fraudsters "digitally arrested" him and siphoned off Rs 35.5 lakh by having him make payments through various means, including RTGS.

He was also told that the money would be returned after the investigation was completed.

After realising that he had been duped, the victim approached the South East Cyber Crimes, Economics and Narcotics (CEN) police station and lodged a complaint.

'Digital arrest' is a new cyber fraud, where the fraudster poses as law enforcement agency officials from agencies like CBI, and customs and threatens people of arrest by making video calls.
