However, an Israeli military spokesperson said that the police officers conducting the raid had been attacked.
“The two movements stress our people’s right to self-defence and to a response to the crimes of the occupation, by all possible and available means”.
The Palestinian Authority’s official news agency Wafa said Abu Maria was killed “in cold blood” while trying to protect his two sons.
“Stop creating this damaging climate immediately”, he added, referring to Israel.
The legislation was drafted following an outbreak of stone-throwing disturbances in mainly Arab East Jerusalem last year following the abduction and murder of 16-year-old Mohammed Ab Khdeir by Jewish vigilantes motivated by revenge for the killing of three Israelis in the West Bank by Palestinians.
