STORYLINE:

Israeli authorities today handed over the body of Mohammad Matar to his family about a year and a half after he was shot dead by the Israeli forces.

Matar’s body was released by the Israeli military and handed over to her family via the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) at Ni'lin military checkpoint, to the west of Ramallah in the West Bank.

Matar, who comes from the village of Deir Abu Mesh'al in the West Bank, was shot dead by the Israeli army near his hometown together with another two Palestinians in August 2020. His body has been withheld by the Israeli army ever since.

Dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces are still withheld in Israeli mortuaries despite calls by human rights groups on Israel to release them.
