The Israeli occupation forces attacked the funeral of the martyr Walid Al-Sharif in occupied Jerusalem on Monday evening, storming the cemetery, assaulting the mourners and firing tear gas and rubber bullets.
The Red Crescent in Jerusalem said that the number of injured reached 37, as a result of rubber bullets and tear gas suffocation.
Al-Jazeera correspondent said that the occupation police assaulted the mourners and prevented them from raising the Palestinian flags, and arrested dozens of Palestinians during the funeral.
The mass funeral had left the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque after the worshipers performed the evening and funeral prayers, and the crowds marched towards the Mujahideen cemetery to bury the body.
The Israeli occupation authorities handed over the body of the martyr Walid Al-Sharif to his family this evening at the occupation police station in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, after he announced the death of the Sharif last Saturday, as a result of his injuries during the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the third Friday of Ramadan.
For its part, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said that Israel's "terrorism" against the funeral of the martyr Walid al-Sharif reflects its response to international demands to investigate its crimes.
The National Liberation Movement (Fatah) said that the occupation forces' attack on the funeral of the martyr Walid al-Sharif, and before him on the funeral of Shireen Abu Akleh, "is an embodiment of its fascist behavior."
The Israeli occupation forces attacked the coffin of our colleague Shireen Abu Aqleh and the mourners during her funeral in occupied Jerusalem last Friday.
