Mourners on Sunday attended the funeral of a 55-year-old Palestinian man who was shot and killed by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian health authorities confirmed the death of Ziad Naeem Abd al-Jabbar Abu Dawood from the West Bank city of Hebron, south of Bethlehem.

Before the funeral procession, men and children gathered to pray for Abu Dawood in a mosque.

Some sat close to his body, and kissed his face.

The Israeli military revised an initial statement to say an "uninvolved" man, confirmed as Abu Dawood, was killed when its soldiers opened fire on a vehicle at a security checkpoint in Hebron on Saturday.

A Palestinian teenager was also shot dead.

The military statement said the teenager's car "accelerated" towards its forces at the checkpoint.
