Massive participation in funeral of slain boy Mohamed Abu Khudair

Thousands of Palestinian citizens attended the funeral procession of 17-year-old Mohamed Abu Khudair, who was murdered and burned by Jewish assailants a few days ago in Shuafat neighborhood in east Jerusalem.

Scores of citizens rallied outside the house of Abu Khudair family in Shuafat area before marching in the funeral.

The Israeli occupation authority had detained the body of the slain boy for a couple of days before handing it over to his family on Friday afternoon.

Meanwhile, violent clashes broke out between participants in the funeral of Abu Khudair and Israeli policemen.

The Israeli occupation forces also subdued marches held following the Friday prayers in different West Bank areas in protest at the hideous murder of Abu Khudair.

Palestinians from the coastal villages of Jisr az-Zarqa and Fureidis in the 1948 occupied lands also participated in a march on Friday protesting the killing of the boy and the daily attacks launched by Jewish settlers on Arab property.
