The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) at dawn Thursday allowed only 15 family members to attend the funeral of the slain Palestinian youth Naseeb Umran Abu Meizar in Occupied Jerusalem.
Only 15 of Naseeb’s first-degree relatives marched in his funeral procession amid tight Israeli security measures.
The IOA handed Naseeb’s body to his family at dawn Thursday after it had been withheld for a couple of months and slapped a fine of 20000 shekels.
The casualty was buried in al-Mujahideen Cemetery in Jerusalem’s neighborhood of Bab al-Sahira.
The Israeli occupation forces intensified their presence across Occupied Jerusalem and sealed off residential neighborhoods with military checkpoints to prevent an influx of angry protesters during the funeral procession.
Naseeb was shot dead by the occupation army last September at the Qalandiya military checkpoint in northern Occupied Jerusalem on claims of attempting to carry out an anti-occupation stabbing attack.
