Israel hands over body of slain Palestinian teen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli authorities handed over the body of a 15-year-old Palestinian accidentally killed late Monday night.
Ma’an News Agency reports that the Palestinian Red Crescent took the body of Mahmoud Bardan from Ofer Prison, and transferred it to the governmental hospital in Ramallah.
At the medical complex, a protest gathered and some men demanded “revenge for the blood of the martyr,” the report says.
Israeli troops shot dead Mahmoud Badran, 15, and injured several others who were initially suspected of throwing rocks at Israeli motorists. The IDF later acknowledged that they had not been involved and said they were shot in error.
