Palestinians hold funeral for child shot by Israeli troops
See photos of a Palestinian family bid farewell to their 12-year-old son who was shot and killed by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank.
Mohiyeh al-Tabakhi’s funeral was held on Wednesday in the Palestinian village of al-Ram, located northeast of the occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced that the child "was killed by shots fired by occupation soldiers" during clashes in al-Ram.
According to medical sources, the child was hit in the chest by a rubber bullet during clashes with Israeli forces and was pronounced dead after arriving at the Palestine Medical Center.
The occupied Palestinian territories have been the scene of heightened tensions since August 2015, when Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds.
Palestinians say the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the status quo of the sacred site.
More than 220 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces since the beginning of last October.
