Thousands bury Ramallah youth slain by Israeli soldiers


20-year-old Ali Mahmoud Safi was buried in the al-Shuhada (Martyrs') Cemetery in the al-Jalazun refugee camp north of Ramallah Thursday, as thousands mourned the first Palestinian youth to be killed in the camp so far this year.

The funeral set off from the Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah towards Safi's home in the refugee camp, where his family, friends, and neighbors said their final goodbyes.

He was subsequently taken to the camp's mosque and then to the cemetery to be buried.

Safi's funeral was well-attended by members of the leftwing Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

"When youths are killed in this brutal way it only shows that Israel will escalate its aggressive procedures," member of the PFLP politburo Khalida Jarrar told Ma'an, adding that she did not expect Israel to end its "crimes" against Palestinians.
