KABUL: (MEP) Palestinians have held a form funeral ceremony for four deceased youths who have been killed by Israeli forces near al-Khalil (Hebron) city in the West Bank.
The mass funeral has turned into protests against the regime’s brutal crackdown on the residents of the occupied territories.
Israeli forces have killed three of the slain Palestinians, who were in their early 20s, in Gush Etzion Junction in southern West Bank on Thursday. The fourth slain Palestinian was a young woman who was killed hours later, after she allegedly sought to stab forces at a checkpoint in the West Bank village of Beit Einun.
Families and relatives of the Palestinian victims gathered in the village of Sa’ir, near al-Khalil, to bury the four who were shot dead by Israeli forces after they have been accused of carrying out stabbing attacks.
During the funeral, Palestinian protesters shouted slogans against the Israelis and condemned the killing of the four youths.
However, there were no immediate reports on any confrontation between the protesters and the Israeli forces.
Around 150 Palestinians have been killed in more than three months of violence in the occupied territories since early October over alleged stabbing attack.
Palestinians say the Tel Aviv regime is seeking to change the status quo of the al-Aqsa mosque, a highly revered place for the Muslims across the world.
