Israeli Forces Shot dead a 17 year old Palestinian during Nakba Demonstration

 
East Jerusalem : A Palestinian boy is shot dead by Israeli forces while protesting on the day of Nakba near an illegal Israeli settlement while he was protesting to mark the annualPalestinian day of mourning over the 1948 creation of Israel.

Seventeen-year-old Morad Ayyash died early on Saturday after being shot in the shoulder in the neighbourhood of Silwan, Israeli police said.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the source of gunfire was unclear and that the police were investigating, while a relative told AFP that a Jewish settler had shot Ayyash in the stomach. Ayyash was shot in random firing of live ammunition by Jewish settlers living in Beit Yonatan, they said.

Ayyash's funeral took place on Saturday with a procession through the East Jerusalem neighbourhoods of Ras al-Ammoud and Silwan, by way of the al-Aqsa compound in the Old City.
