Funeral of Hijazi to be held with 45 mourners

The Israeli court responsible for carrying out the post-mortem on Mu'taz Hijazi, who was shot this morning, has announced that his body will be returned to his family tonight at 23:00 local time (21:00 GMT).

Authorities have said that 45 mourners will be permitted to attend his funeral when it is held - there has been no indication as to when the ceremony will be held.

Last week, there were fierce clashes after Israeli authorities imposed restrictions on the funeral of Abdel Rahman al-Shaludi, the man accused of a "terror attack" in Jerusalem that killed a three-month old baby and an Ecuadorian woman.

Protesters carried a mock coffin through the streets and clashed with Israeli forces, after authorities decreed that only 20 people, whose names had been submitted for security vetting, would be allowed to attend.
