Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank dug up the grave of 80-year-old Palestinian Hussein Asasa just hours after his burial, forcing his family to exhume and rebury his body in another cemetery near Jenin.
Mohammed Asasa said settlers arrived at the village cemetery under the protection of Israeli forces and ordered the family to remove the body, claiming the land belonged to the nearby illegal Sa-Nur settlement recently re-established by Israel.
“They had dug out the grave and reached the body.”
