Funeral for 2 Palestinians killed in the West Bank
NEW YORK (AP) - Mourners chanted and clapped as they carried the bodies of two Palestinian men killed in the West Bank through the streets of Ramallah during their funeral on Thursday.
“I am crying for those who left their parents,” they shouted. “Mother of the martyr, rejoice. Your son will definitely go to heaven.”
Mohammad Fuwaka, 21, was killed Wednesday while sitting with other young people gathered at a spring in the village of Dura el-Kari’a, his uncle Naseem Fuwaka said.
“They were surprised last night by the settlers who opened fire on them, resulting in the martyrdom of my nephew,” Fuwaka said. “May God have mercy on him.”
The other man, Jibril Awad, 32, was killed after the Israeli army raided the village of Budrus.
