Jenin – SABA:
The people of Jenin held a funeral procession today, Sunday, for 11 martyrs who were killed during the ongoing Israeli aggression against the province. The occupation forces had previously prevented their burial.
According to Palestine Today agency, local sources reported that the funeral procession, limited to family members and close relatives, began from Jenin Governmental Hospital, where the martyrs were transported by ambulances to their family homes for a final farewell.
The Israeli occupation authorities prohibited the residents of Jenin and its refugee camp from publicly participating in the funeral or marching through the city's streets.
Seven martyrs were taken to the Martyrs' Cemetery in the refugee camp, where funeral prayers were performed before their burial. The remaining four were transported to their families' homes in Jenin's eastern neighborhood for their final farewell, followed by prayers at Omar bin Al-Khattab Mosque before being laid to rest in the Eastern Cemetery.
The Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs confirmed that arrangements had been made with the families of the nine martyrs for their burial today in the Martyrs' Cemetery in Jenin Refugee Camp, after the occupation forces had previously prevented their interment.
