The family of a Palestinian shot dead in East Jerusalem donated his organs to provide transplants for 2 Arabs and 3 Jews, according to doctors.

Mazen el-Djulani, 34, a chemist from East Jerusalem, was shot at point-blank range last week as he sat in a cafe. It was not clear whether his murder was related to the recent upsurge in Arab-Israeli violence.

His grieving family gave its consent to donate his organs to an Israeli organ bank. One of his kidneys went to a 13-year-old Palestinian, and his lungs, liver, other kidney and pancreas went to three Jews and another Arab, sources said.
