, who was killed two days earlier as she covered an army raid in the Israeli occupied West Bank. Al Jazeera said Israel had warned Abu Akleh's brother to limit the size of the funeral procession, and told him no Palestinian flags should be displayed and no slogans chanted. The network said he rejected the caution, which would have been difficult to heed given the outpouring of grief and anger over the reporter's killing.
An image from video shows mourners struggling to hold aloft the casket containing the body of slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh amid clashes with Israeli security forces outside a hospital in Jerusalem, May 13, 2022. Israel had bolstered security in Jerusalem ahead of the funeral, as Palestinian officials continued to back Al Jazeera's allegation that Abu Akleh was murdered by Israeli forces.
Abu Akleh's body was transferred to Jerusalem from the West Bank for the funeral on Friday. The funeral procession began at a hospital in east Jerusalem, with last respects then to be paid at a church in the Old City before her body was laid to rest alongside her parents in a nearby cemetery.
