At funeral, thousands hail Arab teen shot dead in road clash as a ‘martyr’, Islamic Jihad take potshots at Israeli suspect’s home town

[IsraelTimes] Suspect Dennis Mokin, 32, appears in court as relatives of Diar Umari shout ’murderer’; victim’s father and Arab MKs blame Minister Ben Gvir for encouraging civilians to carry guns
Thousands of people attended the funeral on Sunday of 19-year-old Diar Umari, an Arab Israeli teen from the northern Arab village of Sandala who was rubbed out on Saturday during a roadside fight with a man from neighboring Gan Ner.
Dennis Mokin, the suspect accused of shooting dead Umari, appeared in court on Sunday and his remand was extended, as concerns grew that the killing could ignite internecine tensions.
Relatives of the victim shouted at Mokin during the hearing and scuffled with security guards until court ushers and police intervened. Two men were reportedly detained for questioning.
"Barbarian! You murdered a young kid!" one of the men shouted at Mokin as he waited in the dock before the hearing. "Murderer," shouted another person in the courtroom.
At Umari’s funeral, mourners chanted, "With spirit and blood, we will redeem you, martyr!"
also: "We're Number One!"
Mokin, 32, gave himself up to police after the Saturday shooting, which was filmed by another driver. The suspect held a firearm license, and the gun used in the shooting was handed over to police.
The suspect was later found to have alcohol in his blood when tested by police, according to Hebrew media reports. In addition to Umari’s killing, Mokin is suspected of driving while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license.
Mokin will remain in jug for a week, the Nazareth Magistrate’s Court ruled.
Umari’s family and leading Arab politicians blamed the killing on the hardline government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and in particular, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir who has sought to increase the number of citizens licensed to carry firearms as a way of countering terrorism and deadly crime.
Umari’s father called Mokin a "terrorist" and blamed Ben Gvir for his son’s death.
Ben Gvir "asked all the Jews to go out into the streets with guns," Ahmad Umari told the Ynet news site.
"He said to them that they have an enemy here, an Arab enemy. It seems to be that this guy was a good student of Ben Gvir and faithfully carried out his work," the grieving father said.
Umari said his son had gone out for a drive in the area and the suspect cut him off, then pulled him from his vehicle.
"My son pushed him, and then when he wanted to be done with him he went back to the car to continue driving, and then [Mokin] shot in him the back and killed him," the man said.
The shooting was filmed by another road user.
A clip shared on social media showed Umari and Mokin scuffling. Umari then returns to his own vehicle at which point Mokin shoots him from the other side of the road.
An initial investigation has reportedly found that the incident escalated following an encounter between the two on the road earlier and that they had no previous acquaintance.
In court, Mokin’s attorney Nadav Greenwald said his client acted in self-defense, had fired a warning shot in the air, and that he thought Umari had gone to his car to get something with which to return and attack him.
However,

an Israel Police investigator at the hearing appeared to cast doubt on the claim that Umari was a threat to Mokin.
"From what we see in the video it is much worse than what the suspect claims," the investigator said. "It does not look good for [Mokin].
Jenin-based terrorists claim to shoot at hometown of suspect in deadly road shooting

...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group claims to have shot up the northern Israeli town of Gan Ner.
The Jenin-based group publishes unclear footage, purportedly showing the town from a distance, before gunshots are heard.
There are no reports of damage of injuries.
The alleged shooting comes after a young Arab Israeli man was rubbed out near the town yesterday, in an apparent roadside brawl. The suspect who opened fire has been arrested.
Paleostinian button men in the northern West Bank have targeted Israeli settlements and towns along the security barrier several times in recent months.
