Hundreds attend funeral of slain Palestinian in Hebron

Hundreds of Palestinian mourners on Saturday took part in the funeral march of Eyad Awawdeh, 26, who was shot dead on Friday after stabbing an Israeli soldier near the Kiryat Arba settlement in Hebron.

Israel's army said the soldier had been moderately wounded as a result of the attack.

Mourners toured the streets of Awawdeh's hometown of al-Muwarraq, carrying his body wrapped with a Palestinian flag.

The body was later taken to the village’s cemetery and buried.

Mourners reportedly chanted slogans urging Palestinian fighters to take revenge.
