Palestinian officials questioned Israel’s account of the man’s death. They identified him as 27-year-old Ahmad Erekat.
“This young man was killed in cold blood. Tonight was his sister’s wedding,” claimed Saeb Erekat, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, who said the deceased was a relative of his.
