Video-Thousands attend funeral of Palestinian fighters killed by Israeli forces in West Bank
Thousands of Palestinians have held a mass funeral ceremony in Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank for seven Palestinian fighters killed by Israeli forces during a deadly siege on the city.
The ceremony was held on Friday, with mourners carrying the bodies of the victims toward their burial place.
“They destroy, we rebuild,” chanted those taking part in the funeral.
Israeli troopers have been enforcing the unprecedented siege for the past 10 days. Describing the siege, Jenin’s Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub called it a period of “harassment, suffering, and destruction of infrastructure.”
“In the past, we have had many incursions and much destruction. But this has been the most destructive, the widest in devastation, and the most painful for the Palestinian people,” he said.
