A Palestinian was killed and several others wounded by Israeli military after a Palestinian militants funeral turned violent after stones were thrown at Israeli soldiers, reports Reuters.
A spokesperson for the Israeli army said that soldiers opened fire at the funeral in fear of their lives after protesters threw rocks and rolled burning car tyres at them, adding that first non-lethal means were used before resorting to shooting live ammunition.
The killed Palestinian was a relative of the deceased militant, whose family claims died to his health being neglected whilst being detained in an Israeli Prison.
Witnesses at the scene said that the Israeli army fired both live and rubber bullets at crowds.
