Jerusalem – Thousands of Palestinians are attending the funeral of a 19-year-old who killed two Israelis last week.

Mourners marched in a funeral procession for Mohannad Halabi after prayers on Friday afternoon.

Halabi stabbed two Israelis to death and wounded a mother and toddler in a bloody rampage in Jerusalem’s Old City before he was killed by police on Saturday.

Halabi was wrapped in various Palestinian flags and held aloft on a stretcher through the crowd.

He was buried as violence continued with multiple stabbing attacks in Jerusalem, the West Bank and elsewhere in Israel on Friday.
