After being held for over two weeks the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) will reportedly hand over the body of 17-year-old Qutaiba Zahran from Illar town in Tulkarem to the Palestinian side on Friday evening.
According to the Palestinian civil affairs authority the handover of the body will take place at 08:00 pm at the military checkpoint known as 104 west of Tulkarem.
The civil authority said it had made persistent efforts to convince the Israeli side to release the body of Zahran who was killed two weeks ago by Israeli soldiers at Za’atara checkpoint.
It added that it embarked on making all preparations in coordination with the concerned parties to receive the body of the martyr.
