Gunfire and mourning as Palestinians bury their dead
11:58 AM MMT, Wed January 6, 2016
Mourners fire rounds of gunfire into the air to remember 25-year old Mohamed Saeed, one of three young men laid to rest in the West Bank. Israel says the men were killed by troops while carrying out attacks on Israelis. The bodies had been held for months. Israel said it would return them only if Palestinian mourners agreed to keep their funerals "modest." Palestinians are demanding the repatriation of yet more bodies by Israel. A surge of violence since the start of October has left 21 Israelis, 133 Palestinians, and one American dead.
