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

The UN human rights office condemns incident as "'appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians" in the West Bank.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank forced the family of Hussein Asasa to exhume his body shortly after burial, asserting the land belonged to a newly re-established settlement, leading the family to rebury him elsewhere amid military and UN condemnation.

Israeli settlers forced Palestinians to exhume a body and move it to another location after claiming it was buried too close to an Israeli settlement in the northern occupied West Bank.

Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank forced Palestinians to exhume the body of their father from his freshly dug village grave, his family said, near a settlement re-established by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

Israeli occupation forces forced residents of the village of al-Asa’sa in Jenin in the northern West Bank on Friday evening to exhume the body of a man who had been buried only hours earlier, after illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers began digging up his grave.
