Footage has emerged of riot-like scenes at the funeral of murdered Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
The veteran Palestinian-American broadcaster was shot dead by Israeli forces while covering a raid on the occupied West Bank yesterday.
As large crowds gathered for her funeral, Israeli forces wearing riot gear can be seen attacking and beating mourners, even those attempting to carry Shireen’s coffin.
