Hundreds of people attended the funeral of a Palestinian man on Sunday who was fatally shot by Israeli police in an incident and Israel's new defense minister later said he was sorry about.

A police spokesman had said officers killed a suspected Palestinian who was carrying a weapon in Jerusalem's Old City on Saturday, but according to Israeli media, the man was later found to have been unarmed. Israel defense minister said Israel will make "every effort" to limit casualties while continuing to "maintain the proper level of security." Israeli Prime Minister did not mention the incident in his remarks.
