Photos and video from the scene from residents of Tuqu' who had been filming the funeral show 15-year-old Osama al-Badan, with his hands bound behind his back, trying to run away from at least four Israeli soldiers who are standing nearby.
"There have been disturbances recently towards Israeli cars and people traveling on the road close to Arab Tuqu'," the IDF said, referring to the Palestinian village, instead of the nearby Israeli settlement of Tekoa. These disturbances included stone-throwing and the burning of tires, the IDF said. Osama al-Badan was detained at the scene after being shot, witnesses told CNN.
