Israeli authorities remove East Jerusalem memorial to slain Palestinian

Authorities in Jerusalem have removed a memorial erected in East Jerusalem to a Palestinian who was shot dead by police last month after launching fireworks at them.

Mohammed Abid of Issawiya was killed on June 27 during clashes between police and Palestinian protesters in the neighborhood. Police said he set off the fireworks from close range “endangering the lives” of officers.
