Jerusalem ( CNN ) A Palestinian teenager 's name will be removed from an Israeli memorial commemorating fallen soldiers and the victims of terrorism after his family and others complained . Mohammed Abu Khdeir 's name appeared this week on the wall at Jerusalem 's Mount Herzl , the site of the national cemetery , as the nation prepared to mark its Memorial Day on Wednesday . Abu Khdeir , 16 , was beaten and burned alive by three Israelis in July , according to prosecutors . A picture on the memorial website for Abu Khdeir shows an Israeli flag with two flowers called `` Blood of the Maccabees '' in Israel , a symbol often used on Memorial Day , when the country honors its soldiers killed in the line of duty and victims of terrorism . But Abu Khdeir 's family objected to his inclusion on the memorial wall . His father , Hussein Abu Khdeir , said no one asked for his permission to put his son 's name on the wall . `` I refuse that my son 's name will be listed between soldiers of the occupation , '' he said . Almagor , an organization that works on behalf of victims of terror in Israel , also opposes Abu Khdeir 's inclusion on the memorial . Almagor described the teen 's death as a rogue attack and said he 's not a terror victim . `` Somebody did here a trick , and we are going to fight to correct it , '' said Almagor CEO Meir Indor . `` We will not recognize someone who was murdered in a brutal way in an individual action . '' Indor 's organization wrote a letter to the National Insurance Institute of Israel -- the country 's social security administration , which maintains the memorial site -- demanding that Abu Khdeir 's name be removed from the memorial wall . Indor said if the teenager 's name is not taken off , members of Almagor want their own family members ' names removed . On Wednesday , Israel Radio reported that the National Insurance Institute of Israel will remove Abu Khdeir 's name from the memorial following his father 's complaints . The teen 's name has already been removed from the organization 's website , which lists the names on the memorial wall . A panel of judges began hearing evidence in January against the three suspects in Abu Khdeir 's killing .
Abu Khdeir 's name is on the memorial wall at Jerusalem 's Mount Herzl . His father and a terror victim advocacy group objected to his being included in the list . The Palestinian teenager was beaten and burned by two Israelis , authorities say .
