Israeli police arrests six suspects over Palestinian teen killing

The family of Mohammed Abu Khudair, the Palestinian teenager who was abducted and burned alive, say they feel 'little joy' over the arrests of six Jewish suspects in connection with the killing.

His mother Suha said she had little faith in the Israeli justice system.

She said: "I don't have any peace in my heart, even if they captured who they say killed my son.

"They're only going to ask them questions and then release them. What's the point?"

She added: "They need to treat them the way they treat us. They need to demolish their homes and round them up, the way they do it to our children."

Six Jewish suspects have been arrested by Israeli police in connection with the murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khudair, according to news agencies.

The 16-year-old's death followed the abduction and murder of three young Israelis in Jerusalem.

Israeli forces have arrested a young Palestinian man in connection with the abduction and killing of three teenagers in Jerusalem, according to local reports.

The arrest was reportedly made shortly after midnight in Hebron in connection with the killings of Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Frenkel.

The three youngsters went missing on June 12 - sparking a huge military operation - and their bodies were found 18 days later by Israeli soldiers.

Israel has accused Hamas of being behind the killings, a claim the group denies.

Palestinian youths have clashed with Israeli soldiers after a day of high tension and the funeral of a Palestinian teenager they believe was killed by far-right Jews in retaliation for the deaths of three Israeli youth.

Thousands of furious Palestinians called for a new uprising against Israel during the funeral of a teen they believe was kidnapped and killed by far-right Jews.

Stones thrown at Israeli police were met by teargas, stun grenades and rubber bullets in one of the most highly charged displays of enmity in Jerusalem in years as the body of Mohammed Abu Khudair, 16, wrapped in a Palestinian flag, was carried through his neighbourhood under a sweltering sun.

Medics said 15 demonstrators were treated for injuries. There was no immediate word of arrests by the Israelis.
