STORYLINE:
Relatives paid their respects on Sunday at the funerals of a Palestinian-American and his friend killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 23-year-old Sayfollah Musallet, from Florida, had been beaten by Israeli settlers.
Diana Halum, a cousin, said the attack occurred on his family’s land.
Musallet’s friend, Mohammed al-Shalabi, was shot in the chest, the ministry said.
Israel’s military said Palestinians hurled rocks at Israelis in the area on Friday, lightly wounding two people and setting off a larger confrontation.
Palestinians and rights groups have long accused the military of ignoring settler violence.
Their bodies were carried through the streets on Sunday as mourners waved Palestinian flags and chanted, “God is great.”
Musallet’s family said it wants the US State Department to investigate his death and hold the settlers accountable.
“We demand justice against these settler terrorists, there’s no question about that. They are in illegal land, it’s not theirs,” said Kamil Musallet, father of Sayfollah.
The State Department said it had no comment out of respect for the family.
