Yesterday, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian near the Beit Einun junction northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

Israeli police say burial periods are lengthy to prevent Palestinians from glorifying attackers during their funerals. Our correspondent Ibrahim Husseini looks at how even in death, Palestinians face another form of discrimination.
