Palestinians gather in Jenin to mourn sixth victim of Israeli raid
Crowds of Palestinians gathered in Jenin on Tursday to mourn 48-year-old Amjad Aref Jaas, who succumbed to gunshot wound from the Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank city.
The funeral procession departed from Rafidia Hospital in Nablus and headed toward the refugee camp in Jenin. The crowd chanted slogans denouncing the occupation and its continued aggression against the Palestinian people.
The funeral procession marched toward the martyr's family home in Jenin refugee camp, where his family gave a last farewell to his body before it was transferred to the Grand Mosque for a funeral prayer and then buried.
Amjad Jaas' son, Wassim, was one of 10 Palestinians killed in a separate raid by Israeli occupation forces in January.
