RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Over 10,000 people on Tuesday afternoon participated in the funeral procession of Mahmoud Adwan who was killed hours earlier during an Israeli raid on Qalandiya refugee camp.
Over 30 Palestinians were injured with rubber-coated steel bullets in clashes that broke out near Qalandiya checkpoint. Most of the injured were taken to Ramallah medical complex while the rest were treated on the scene.
Adwan’s body was taken to al-Quds University forensic institute before his funeral started from the camp’s mosque to al-Shuhada cemetery.
Participants in the funeral chanted calls for retaliation and raised Palestinian flags as some masked participants fired shots in the air.
A general strike was observed in Qalandiya, Kafr Aqab, Samirameis, and the Umm al-Sharayt area north of Jerusalem
