The funeral of the freed prisoner Obeid proceeded through the streets of the village, and participants chanted slogans and “takbeers”.
The freed prisoner Obeid died yesterday, Saturday, after falling from the roof of the family building.
The forces stormed the village and the vicinity of the cemetery, and attacked the mourners with bombs and rubber bullets, which led to the outbreak of clashes in the village.
