Hebron: Israeli soldiers opened fire and injured five young Palestinian men north of Hebron in the southern West Bank as clashes erupted when soldiers attacked a funeral procession, reported Maan news agency.
Muhammad Ayyad Awad, a spokesman of a local popular committee against the wall and settlements, said hundreds of residents took part in a funeral procession of Ahmad Ibrahim Salim Adi in Beit Ummar.
The deceased, aged 44, was found dead on Friday in an ancient well about two months after he disappeared. He was reported missing in October.
An Israeli army spokesman said some 300 Palestinians hurled rocks and firebombs at Israeli forces who responded with riot-dispersal means. The spokesman confirmed that a soldier was also injured.
