A Palestinian family says Israeli settlers forced them to exhume an 80-year-old relative hours after burial in the West Bank. Despite prior approval, tensions over land and settlement expansion turned a funeral into a distressing ordeal.
The Israeli military said forces responded to reports of clashes at the site and confiscated settlers’ digging tools. It did not say whether anyone was arrested.
A military spokesperson said the army did not order the family to move the remains and protected them as they relocated the body.
