Israel Stops Returning Terrorists’ Bodies After Families Hold Massive Inciting Funeral

Jerusalem, 24 May, 2016 (TPS) -- Israel’s Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said on Tuesday that the family of a terrorist whose body was returned yesterday broke their commitment and police conditions by holding a massive funeral that included incitement and support of terrorism.

“The families lied to the High Court of Justice after they promised to obey the police demands,” Erdan wrote on his Facebook page. “It is a shame that the court believed them and put pressure on the police to return the bodies before the Ramadan month.”

Erdan said he has subsequently ordered to stop returning terrorist bodies to their families.
