The West Bank insurrection

The funeral for Mohammed al-Qadary, 19, was held Saturday following noon prayers. Afterword mourners scrambled up a hillside cut with terraces for yet another round of clashes at the site where the teen was shot in the chest hours earlier.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the armed-wing of Fatah, wore balaclavas and fatigues and brandished semi-automatic weapons. One of the gunmen was dressed in a locally popular style of a navy snowsuit. They then fired a staggered salute.
