Palestinian officials claim that the Palestinian man, Ibraheem Yakoub, had been walking along the main road of their village, Kifl Haris, with friends when he was shot dead.

Israel’s army state that the troops opened fire after Ibraheem and another man started throwing firebombs at a guard post near the town of Nablus.

Ibrahim Abu Yaaqoub’s relatives told Middle East Eye, an international online news outlet, that he was killed ‘in cold blood’ by Israeli forces.

Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in Kifl Haris for Ibrahim’s funeral procession on Friday afternoon.

The mourners marched down to the village cemetery chanting slogans against Israel and carrying Ibrahim’s body wrapped in a Palestinian flag.
