Three-year-old Mohammad Tamimi died in the hospital on Monday, four days after he was shot in the head by Israeli troops in the West Bank. The boy was traveling in a car with his father, who was also wounded, on Thursday when they came under fire. The Israeli military said soldiers were responding to gunfire from Palestinian militants near the village of Nabi Saleh, where a funeral was held today for Mohammad Tamimi. Jerusalem-based journalist Fuad AbuGosh attended the funeral and spoke with host Marco Werman.
