Funeral of Hamas leader takes place in Nablus

More than 50,000 Palestinian mourners have taken to the streets of the West Bank city of Jenin. The mourners took to the streets for the funeral of the Hamas military leader, Mahmoud Abu Hannud, who was killed in an Israeli missile attack.

In the West Bank city of Nablus, around 4,000 Palestinians took to the streets for the funerals of two men killed a day earlier, possibly while preparing a bomb.

Speakers positioned on cars in the southern Gaza city of Rafah and Khan Younis refugee camp called on locals to begin a three-day general strike to mark Hannud's death.
