Israeli settlers forced a Palestinian family on Friday to exhume their father’s body from a cemetery in the occupied West Bank.

The settlers said the grave was too close to the recently re-established settlement of Sa-Nur, near Jenin, located around 300m from the burial site.

The family said they were then forced to exhume the body and transfer it to another cemetery under Israeli military presence.

During the removal, settlers threw stones at the grieving family.
