The IDF stated it would investigate the incident, and claimed that a violent protest had taken place in the village, which included stones thrown at security forces. Three Border Guard officers were wounded by the stone-throwers and treated on the scene.
Thousands of Palestinians and Israeli and international peace activists took part in Moussa's funeral Wednesday afternoon. Village residents and the Naalin anti-fence committee announced that they would continue to battle the construction of the separation fence, claiming it would rob the residents of acres of property.
