Israeli settlers open fire at mourners in Ramallah, 1 hurt


RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli settlers on Sunday opened fire at Palestinians in al-Bireh near Ramallah as they gathered for the funeral of a man killed by Israeli forces earlier that day, a Ma'an reporter said.

After the funeral procession of Muhammad Tarifi in the Jabal al-Tawil neighborhood, settlers from the Psagot settlement opened fire at mourners, injuring one of them.

When Israeli forces arrived at the scene, clashes broke out as Palestinians hurled rocks at settlers and soldiers.

Soldiers fired stun grenades, tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, and live fire at Palestinians.

The Palestinians then retreated into al-Bireh's Jabal al-Tawil and al-Jinan neighborhoods.more
