Zionist forces attack funeral ceremony, injure Palestinians in al-Khalil

The zionist occupation forces (ZOF) brutally attacked Palestinians while attending the funeral of the Palestinian youth who was shot and killed by ZOF on Tuesday near Beit Fajjar in Bethlehem, south of the West Bank.

During the clashes, the ZOF soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, injuring dozens of people, including journalists.

The soldiers also tried to arrest an injured young man while being carried in an ambulance for treatment.

Ammar Shafiq Abu Afifa, a resident of the Al-Aroub refugee camp north of al-Khalil, was laid to rest amid large participation of local residents who chanted pro-resistance slogans, calling for revenge.

Earlier Tuesday, two other Palestinians were gunned down after coming under fire during an arrest raid in the northern West Bank. (ILKHA)
