Mourners gathered Saturday for the funeral of Ali Abu Alia, a Palestinian teenager who was killed by Israeli forces Friday.
Israeli soldiers shot the teen in the stomach during a protest in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian officials called the act a war crime.
The European Union Delegation to the Palestinians called for a full investigation, tweeting, “Children enjoy special protection under international law.
How many more Palestinian children will be subject to the excessive use of lethal force by the Israeli security forces?”
