RAMALLAH, Dec 27 (KUNA) -- The Israeli occupation authorities handed to the Palestinian side on Sunday the bodies of seven Palestinians, who were killed in early October during the ongoing popular uprising.
The Palestinian civil affairs authority identified the martyrs as Mohammad Zahran, Ma'moun Ra'ed Al-Khatib, Esam Thawabteh, Samer Al-Serisi, Mohammad Al-Shawbaki, Isa Al-Horoub and Shadi Matariyah.
The Israeli authorities, which still withhold bodies of five other martyrs, set two conditions for tonight's deliveries that no autopsy should be conducted and that a limited number of mourners should take part in the funerals.
Over the last weeks the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem staged several protests demanding for retrieval of the bodies, the last of such protests took place yesterday. (end)
