Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai ordered today (Saturday) to investigate the conduct of the police at the funeral of journalist Sheerin Abu Akala.

Shabtai's decision was made in coordination with Homeland Security Minister Amar Bar-Lev, and the two requested that the findings of the investigation be presented to them in the coming days. 

"The Israel Police was readied yesterday to allow a quiet and dignified funeral for journalist Sheerin Abu Aqla, and even coordinated the funeral arrangements with the family. On the other hand, hundreds of rioters tried to sabotage during the ceremony and harm the police," the police said.
