A group of six "Israeli" settlers, who have been arrested on Sunday in connection with the murder of a Palestinian teenager in occupied east al-Quds, have reportedly confessed to their crime.

The "Israeli" suspects were arrested on Sunday over the death of the 16-year-old Palestinian youth, Muhammad Abu Khdeir.

They admitted to kidnapping the Palestinian teen from a neighborhood of occupied east al-Quds and then beating and burning him to death.

Postmortem examination findings have shown that Abu Khdeir was burned alive and hit with a blunt object on the head, according to sources on Saturday.

The brutal killing of the Palestinian teenager has sparked a wave of protests across the occupied territories.

Recently, new video footage has also emerged showing masked "Israeli" forces brutally beating a Palestinian-American teenager in occupied east al-Quds while in police custody. The 15-year-old boy has been identified as Tariq Abu Khdeir, the cousin of Mohammed Abu Khdeir.

According to the latest figures revealed by the Palestinian Ministry of Information in Ramallah, nearly 1,500 children have been killed during the Second uprising [intifada] between 2000 and 2013.
