The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) are expected to release the body of 25-year-old Ibrahim Matar from Jabal al-Mukbir in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Lawyer Mohamed Mahmoud from the prisoners’ and ex-prisoners’ committee said the IOA will release the body of the slain Palestinian youth Ibrahim Matar on conditions that no more than 20 persons attend his funeral that his family pay 20000 shekels as a guarantee and that his body be handed over between 11:00 p.m. and 01:00 a.m.
Matar was killed by the Israeli occupation forces on March 13 2017 after he was arrested and searched at a police station in Bab al-Asbat in Jerusalem’s Old City. An Israeli officer fatally shot him on his way out of the detention center on claims that he attempted to carry out a stabbing attack. The family denied the allegations and said their son was heading to al-Aqsa Mosque to perform dawn prayers.
