West Bank mourns teen killed by Israeli forces
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, held a funeral for 18-year-old Hamdan Abu Aliya, who was killed by Israeli forces on Saturday.
Mourners carried his body through the streets, waving Palestinian flags and banners of Fatah and Hamas while chanting, 'With our souls and our blood, we will redeem you, martyr.'
His father, Musa Abu Aliya, sent a message beyond the village: 'Enough betrayal, enough humiliation, enough insult. No matter how many they kill, time is on our side. It is impossible for us to give up our land.'
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed his death late on Saturday, saying he was shot by 'occupation forces in the town of Al-Mughayyir'.
Responding to AFP, the Israeli army said its soldiers opened fire after 'terrorists' hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at occupation troops.
