'Thousands' mourn at funeral of slain teen in Umm al Fahm 

Palestinians in Israel's Umm al-Fahm neighbourhood have gathered to march in the funeral procession of 17-year-old Muhammad Kiwan.

The teenager was pronounced dead yesterday after being in a coma for the past week. Israeli forces shot the teenager in the head during a protest, where many had taken to the streets to denounce Israeli police aggression and the heavy bombardment of Gaza.

The city has announced a day of mourning today, where many shops and businesses have remained closed after a week of attacks targeted at Palestinians amid a heavy Israeli police crackdown.

Many Palestinian protesters have vowed to keep resisting, and came out to the funeral waving flags and chanting protest songs.
