Israeli forces detain eyewitness to Hebron shooting

Mufid Sharbati, a Hebron resident and eyewitness to the shooting and killing of Palestinian teen Fadel al Qawasmeh on Saturday morning was detained by Israeli forces hours after the incident.

Israeli forces raided Sharbati's home and confiscated a laptop, a video camera, and a photo camera, reported Ma'an News agency. 

Israeli forces also detained the media coordinator of Youth Against Settlements, Ahmad Amr, hours after the group released video footage captured directly after an Israeli settler shot dead Qawasmeh in Hebron.

The Youth Against Settlement group told Ma'an that that photographers in the group had documented the shooting and killing of 18-year-old Qawasmeh. 

The footage which showed the Israeli soldiers laying what is believed to be a knife on Qawasmeh's dead body raised speculations about the authenticity of the claims made against the teen.
