At one instance, the coffin carrying Shireen Abu Akleh’s remains almost slipped and fell to the pavement amid the disorder and the jostling
Thousands of mourners participated in the funeral procession for Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, who before being killed by gunfire on Wednesday was one of the best-known Palestinian faces in the world.
In a statement, police said they attempted to coordinate a “dignified funeral” with Abu Akleh’s family. While there are indications that behind the scenes, Israelis and Palestinian are in fact sharing information they have gathered since the fatal incident, officially they only agree on one thing: they don’t know whose killed her.
Family and friends carry the coffin of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed during an Israeli raid in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
“Jews shot her. Muslims held her funeral procession. And Christians buried her,” has become a popular slogan in Jenin in the days since she was shot and killed.
