Heavy police presence around funeral of alleged Bedouin attacker

Police say they have deployed a heavy presence following a funeral for Yaqoub Mousa Abu Al-Qia’an, who was killed last week in a violent clash over house demolitions.

Thousands attended the funeral, in the Negev town of Hura, and police closed dozens of roads in the area. “As soon as possible the police will lift the roadblocks and return traffic to normal,” police say.
