Israeli forces also obstructed mourners attending the journalist’s funeral, a couple of hours after her killing, according to The New Arab. Ghufran’s cousin, Abdel Rahman Warsaneh said that Israeli forces prevented mourners from entering the refugee camp. He added IDF soldiers used tear gas and sound grenades to disperse the crowd.

As expected, Israel’s crackdown on Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank have led to a new escalation in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli security forces have been harassing Palestinians in al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and even restricting the movement of worshipers there since the beginning of April. During the same period, at least 19 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where security forces carried out a series of raids.
