Thousands of Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip attended on Friday evening the funeral of a child who was shot dead earlier on the same day by an Israeli soldier during his participating in a March of Return rally in the north of the coastal enclave.
The funeral procession of 15-year-old Maysara Abu Shallouf moved from outside the Indonesian hospital in Jabalia to his home in Beit Hanoun where his family bade him a final farewell before performing the funeral prayer at the Rayyan Mosque and laying him to rest at a municipal cemetery.
In the funeral the mourners chanted slogans calling for avenging the death of Abu Shallouf and protecting the participants in the March of Return rallies from Israeli attacks.
