US presses Israel over teen 'beaten' in Jerusalem

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28181099

Tariq Khdair's family deny claims by Israeli police that he was among a group of masked Palestinians attacking police, as James Reynolds reports

The Israeli Justice Ministry said the police investigations department was looking into the incident.

Thousands attended Mohammad Abu Khdair's funeral on Friday near the family's home in the Shufat district of East Jerusalem.

His family believe he was killed by Jewish extremists in revenge for the murders of three Israeli teenagers - Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Shaar, both aged 16, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach.

Their bodies were found near the West Bank city of Hebron on 30 June and their funerals were held on Wednesday.

Mohammad Abu Khdair was seen being forced into a car in Shufat early on Wednesday and his body was later found in West Jerusalem.

Palestinian attorney-general Mohammed al-A'wewy said that initial autopsy results showed the direct cause of death "was burns as a result of fire".

Israeli authorities say the circumstances surrounding the teenager's death are still unclear.

However, the deaths of the four teenagers have led to a steep rise in tensions between Israel and the Palestinians.

Hundreds of Palestinian youths clashed with Israeli police in East Jerusalem before and after Friday's funeral and the violence later spread into the West Bank and to Israeli-Arab towns in northern Israel.

Disturbances were reported in Taibe and Tira and clashes were also reported in the central town of Qalansawe, with Jewish drivers attacked and some cars torched.

In Qalansawe on Saturday, dozens of masked protesters burned tyres on the main road, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

The road between Qalansawe and Taibeh was closed and other roads in the north were also shut intermittently as police dealt with renewed protests, it added.

More rockets have also been fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, despite reports that a ceasefire was being brokered by Egyptian intelligence officials.

Israel said on Saturday it had retaliated with air strikes on militant targets in Gaza.

Did the Palestinians ever punish the people responsible for Killing the Jewish teens? I think it's only fair that both sides sufficiently prosecute the perpetrators. It seems Israel has gone forth to prosecute and condemn the killing of the Palestinian teen, but nothing from Hamas...

One of the core human rights is self-defense. Both Jews and Palestinians have that right. When neither side cannot agree on what is right, it is called war. The Jews have made offers of Peace. The Arabs have rejected them all. Ok. Maybe they weren't good enough. What have the Arabs offered in counter? Nothing but murder and chaos. The Jews gave the Arabs Gaza without asking for anything in return. They removed all settlements from Gaza and left the farms and businesses as they were. Clearly, Gaza was no garden, but the Arabs have turned it into a hell-hole destroying the farms, and burning the businesses. Murdering and torturing anyone who does not agree 100% with Hamas.

Is there any evidence pointing towards (Palestinian) suspects for killing the Jewish teens? For all we know it could've been Israeli settlers or even the Israeli government trying to spark a conflict.

Nobody knows who killed the teenagers maybe Israel could help them to locate the ones who did the horrible crime.
I dont think the Hamas is capable alone to find those that did it.
Because most likely it could have been a completely fanatical rival group of the Hamas or maybe not even Palestinians at all (Syria/Egypt or whatever)

Hope this will spark another war on Middle East.

Israel has an army, but the Palestinians don't.
