Israel adds name of murdered Palestinian boy to cemetery wall

April 21, 2015 16:48

The name of a Palestinian boy who was killed by Jewish extremists was today added to an official memorial wall in Israel for terror victims, in a first such recognition in the country for an Arab fatality.

Mohammed Abu Khdeir's name showed up on the Israel government's online database of terror victims, next to an Israeli flag overlaid with a picture of the Blood of the Maccabees flower, which has come to symbolise the country's fallen.

The Israeli defence ministry recognised Abu Khdeir as a victim of 'hostile action' in July last year, the term used for Israeli civilians killed in conflicts with the Palestinians and Arab states, some two weeks after he was murdered.
