Palestinian security forces on Wednesday fired tear gas canisters and flash grenades at angry Palestinian protesters during a funeral for a militant in the occupied West Bank.
It was a rare encounter that highlighted deep public dissatisfaction with the Palestinian self-rule government.
Palestinian security forces unleashed tear gas on the crowds, sending mourners running in all directions, and returned Kharushah's body to the ambulance. They also prevented anyone from raising Hamas flags, even as Kharushah's body remained covered in one. There were no reports of casualties. "The suppression of the funeral procession in Nablus ... marks a new moral failure added to dark record of oppression and abuse of our own people," Hamas said.
