(...) Israeli authorities delivered his body to the family at the Jabal al-Mukabbir police station just after midnight, when the body was transferred via an ambulance to a nearby mosque.
Relatives and friends bid final farewell to Abu Dheim as mourners carried his body to the town’s cemetery after the funeral prayer.
The mourners waved Palestinian flags, chanting slogans condemning the killing.

Omran’s brother Shafiq Abu Dheim said eyewitnesses told him that “Omran was trying to make a U-turn in the middle of the road, but was impeded by a truck which was unloading vegetables at a produce shop.”
At that point a heated argument broke between him and Israeli officers who were on both sides of the road, when the officers opened fire.
Shafiq told Ma’an that Israeli forces pulled his brother out of the car and “left him lying on the ground for half an hour without receiving any first aid, despite the fact that he was only a few meters away from Al-Maqasid and Augusta Victoria hospitals,” according to eyewitnesses.
The forces reportedly fired stun grenades at those who attempted to access the man after he was shot, head of a local follow-up committee of al-Tur, Mufid Abu Ghannam, told Ma’an Wednesday.
As soon as Shafiq discovered his brother’s death, he immediately headed to al-Tur, walking due to blocked roads.
“My brother had already been evacuated in an ambulance, and the soldiers were inspecting his car. I tried to access the car, which was riddled with bullets, but they pushed me back violently.”
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Ma’an after the incident that the had man tried to run over two border police officers with his car, leaving them moderately injured.(...)
