Funeral held for Palestinian teen shot in Jerusalem al-Quds knife attack
Palestinians have held a funeral procession for a 14-year old boy, shot dead by Israeli forces after stabbing a policeman in Jerusalem al-Quds last month.
As Reported by Qods News Agency (Qodsna) Nassim Abu Rumi, from al-Azariya, died on August 15, after he and another boy, attacked an Israeli policeman in the Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds . His body was kept by the Israeli authorities until they released it on Friday.
Video footage from the incident, aired on Israeli television and circulated on social media, showed two young males approaching a police officer at one of the walled Old City's gates, drawing knives and stabbing him before his colleagues shoot them multiple times.
The attack came less than a week after Palestinians and Israeli police clashed at a nearby holy site of the city.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement says the Zionist escalation in the occupied West Bank will only strengthen the commitment of the Palestinian nation to stand firmly against the Zionist regime and its occupation.
Israeli forces have injured a number of Palestinians in an attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem al-Quds aimed at preventing worshipers from performing Friday prayers.
Israeli forces have attacked Palestinians taking part in the final round of protests held on a weekly basis near the fence separating the Gaza Strip from the occupied territories, leaving a number of protesters injured.
