Hundreds of Palestinians on Saturday afternoon marched in al-Khalil for the funeral of a Palestinian martyr whose body was released following three months of detention by the Israeli authorities.
The marchers waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans condemning Israel’s killing of Muammar al-Atrash 42 a father of seven.
The Israeli forces killed al-Atrash over an alleged stabbing attack that led to injuring an Israeli soldier on 22 October 2018.
Al-Atrash’s body was handed over to his family on Friday three months later.
The Israeli occupation authorities are currently holding the bodies of 36 Palestinian martyrs.
