Palestinians attend the funeral of Salah Sawafta, killed during a raid by Israeli forces on Friday 19 August in the city of Tubas in the northern West Bank.

The funeral, later the same day, drew hundreds of mourners, who chanted as they marched through the streets.

The 58-year-old Sawafta "died of critical wounds, sustained by live bullets from the occupation (Israeli military) in the head, in Tubas this morning", the Palestinian health ministry said in a statement.

Palestinian media reports that Sawafta was returning from dawn prayers when he was shot.

Unverified video purportedly of the shooting is said to show Sawafta unarmed when he was shot.

Salah Sawafta's son, Mohammed Sawafta, spoke to the filmer about his father's death (in Arabic)
