- Story Text: Hundreds marched in funeral procession for Mohammed Taha, an Israeli Arab citizen who was killed by a security guard during clashes in central Israel.
The mourners carried the body through the streets of Kafr Qassem, chanting slogans and waving Palestinian flags.
A security guard shot and killed Taha as hundreds of protesters stormed the Arab town's local police station overnight and set fire to vehicles, Israeli police said.
The violence erupted after police officers in Kafr Qassem attempted to apprehend a suspect wanted for questioning, police added. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
