STORYLINE:
Mourners attended a funeral for a Palestinian man killed by Israeli forces during a raid in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Sunday the man was shot dead by Israeli forces in Balata refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
According to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, Samer Rumaneh was fatally shot during an Israeli raid on the camp early Sunday.
The Army did not immediately respond to the Associated Press’ request for comment.
An independent armed group, known as the Lion’s Den, later claimed the slain Palestinian man as one of their fighters.
The group has a strong presence in Nablus, a city where the Palestinian Authority, a government body which administers parts of the West Bank, has a limited foothold.
At least 497 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the Hamas-Israel war erupted last October.
