Israeli Forces and Mourners Clash During Palestinian Funeral | VOA News

Palestinians on Friday marched in anger to bury a 19-year-old resident killed by Israeli security forces after Jewish settlers rampaged through a flashpoint West Bank town the night before. The teenager’s death, coming as tensions escalate during the Jewish holiday season, marked the latest incident in a surge of Israeli-Palestinian fighting that has so far killed nearly 200 Palestinians this year — the highest death toll in some two decades. Some 30 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks on Israelis during that time. Following a brazen Palestinian shooting attack on an Israeli motorist along the volatile route through the Palestinian town of Hawara on Thursday, mobs from nearby Israeli settlements stormed into the town. The dozens of settlers wreaked havoc, torching two tractors and a car, hurling stones at Palestinian storefronts and spraying bullets toward homes, said Hawara Mayor Moeen Dmeidi. #Israel #reels #videography #voanews » Subscribe to VOA News: » Watch more VOA News video: Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
