JERUSALEM, Thursday, December 31, 2020 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities today turned over the body of slain Palestinian Maher Zaatra after being withheld for almost 10 months, according to local sources.
Zaatra’s body was released by the Israeli military very early today and handed over to a limited number of his family in order to be buried in his East Jerusalem’s Jabal al-Mukabber neighborhood under very strict Israeli restrictions and high presence of its forces.
