Israel police have arrested one of the Palestinian pallbearers beaten by officers at the funeral of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, the detained man's lawyer said on Wednesday.
A police spokesman confirmed the arrest of Amro Abu Khdair but said it was not connected to Friday's funeral.
He declined to give the reason for the man's arrest.
Images of baton-wielding Israeli officers beating the pallbearers, who at one point nearly dropped Al Jazeera journalist Abu Akleh's coffin, drew widespread international condemnation and added to anger over the killing of the reporter during an Israeli military raid in the city of Jenin in the West Bank on May 11.
Mr Abu Khdair's lawyer, Khaldoon Nijm, said his client was arrested on Monday but that the charges were not revealed to him and were based on information from Israel's domestic security service.
He said Mr Abu Khdair later told him he was questioned about the funeral.
A police official said any connection made to the funeral would amount to a “cheap conspiracy”.
Mr Abu Khdair's custody had been extended until Sunday, police and Mr Nijm said.
A second pallbearer, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters he had been questioned by police though not arrested.
Israel's Internal Security Minister Omer Barlev said on Saturday he and the police commissioner had appointed a panel to carry out a “comprehensive investigation of what happened during the funeral, in order to learn lessons from the event”.
Separately, Israel is conducting a probe into Abu Akleh's death. The Palestinian authorities are also investigating her killing.
The Palestinians accuse Israeli forces of assassinating her. Israel has denied targeting the correspondent, saying she may have been shot accidentally by a soldier or a Palestinian gunman as they exchanged fire in Jenin.

Notable salonnières of the Middle East through history
Al Khasan (Okaz, Saudi Arabia)
Tamadir bint Amr Al Harith, known simply as Al Khasan, was a poet from Najd famed for elegies, earning great renown for the eulogy of her brothers Mu’awiyah and Sakhr, both killed in tribal wars. Although not a salonnière, this prestigious 7th century poet fostered a culture of literary criticism and could be found standing in the souq of Okaz and reciting her poetry, publicly pronouncing her views and inviting others to join in the debate on scholarship. She later converted to Islam.
Maryana Marrash (Aleppo)
A poet and writer, Marrash helped revive the tradition of the salon and was an active part of the Nadha movement, or Arab Renaissance. Born to an established family in Aleppo in Ottoman Syria in 1848, Marrash was educated at missionary schools in Aleppo and Beirut at a time when many women did not receive an education. After touring Europe, she began to host salons where writers played chess and cards, competed in the art of poetry, and discussed literature and politics. An accomplished singer and canon player, music and dancing were a part of these evenings.
Princess Nazil Fadil (Cairo)
Princess Nazil Fadil gathered religious, literary and political elite together at her Cairo palace, although she stopped short of inviting women. The princess, a niece of Khedive Ismail, believed that Egypt’s situation could only be solved through education and she donated her own property to help fund the first modern Egyptian University in Cairo.
Mayy Ziyadah (Cairo)
Ziyadah was the first to entertain both men and women at her Cairo salon, founded in 1913. The writer, poet, public speaker and critic, her writing explored language, religious identity, language, nationalism and hierarchy. Born in Nazareth, Palestine, to a Lebanese father and Palestinian mother, her salon was open to different social classes and earned comparisons with souq of where Al Khansa herself once recited.
