His father had just been buried. Then West Bank settlers forced him to dig up the body

Mohammed Asasa was forced to exhume his father Hussein's body, aged 80, after armed Jewish settlers threatened his family in the village of Asasa near Jenin. Hussein, a former livestock trader, had been buried in a local cemetery according to Islamic customs. The settlers, from the recently reoccupied settlement of Sa-Nur, claimed the burial site was too close to their settlement. Despite the Israeli army intervening to confiscate digging tools, the family accused the soldiers of standing by.
