JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli authorities announced on Tuesday that Israel
would return the slain body of 22-year-old Anwar al-Salaymeh to his family
after holding his body for six days, according to Addameer lawyer Muhammad
Mahmoud.
Mahmoud told Ma’an that Israeli authorities decided to return al-Salaymeh’s
body at the Beituniya checkpoint in the central occupied West Bank on
Tuesday night without any preconditions. However, they did not specify a
specific hour.
Spokesperson of the Fatah movement Thaer Fasfous said that al-Salaymeh’s
body would be buried at the Anata cemetery.
Al-Salaymeh was killed in the town of al-Ram in the West Bank’s Jerusalem
district during predawn hours after allegedly attempting to run over Israeli
soldiers while in his vehicle with two friends Faris al-Rishq, who was
critically injured during the incident, and Muhammad Nassar.
Nassar vehemently denied the charges after being detained and interrogated
by Israeli forces following the incident.
Instead, the friends claim they were on their way to a bakery and did not
know there was a raid being carried out in the town. After seeing their car,
Israeli forces surrounded them and opened live fire.
