Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked Friday the participants in the funeral of fellow martyr Shireen Abu Aqleh, while trying to get her body out of the French Hospital in occupied Jerusalem.

Local sources said that the mourners had to re-enter Abu Aqleh’s body at the hospital after the occupation forces attacked the funeral procession, fired sound bombs and wastewater toward the mourners, and beat them with batons, which led to the injury of dozens of them.

The mourners insisted that the body of the martyr Abu Aqleh be carried out of the hospital, carried on the shoulders, to walk in the streets and alleys of Jerusalem.

IOF pushed military reinforcements and cavalry teams to the French hospital, closed the roads leading to it, where the body of Abu Aqila lay, confiscated the Palestinian flags raised by the mourners in the procession, and prevented hundreds of them from leaving the hospital and joining the funeral procession.
