KABUL: (Middle East Press) Israeli forces have attacked a funeral in the town of Rahat which at least killed one Palestinian man and dozens more injured.
Sami Ibrahim Zayadna, 45, died on Sunday after gasping teargas fired by Israeli police in the Negev town.
Violent clashes erupted after Israeli police entered a graveyard as mourners were burying a 21-year-old Bedouin, Sami al-Jaar, who had been shot dead last week in the same town.
The violence also injured more than 40 people, including Rahat mayor Talal al-Qureinawi and Raed Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement.
The clashes came despite an agreement with Rahat municipality that Israeli troops would stay clear of the area. However, Israeli police attacked the mourners and fired rubber bullets and tear gas to scatter them.
