Breaking News: Crowds Flock To Jerusalem As Palestinian Teenager Boy Was Buried.

Thousands of people have attended the funeral of a murdered

Palestinian teenager in East Jerusalem amid heightened tensions with Israel.
Mohammad Abu Khdair's family believe he was killed in revenge for the murders of three young Israelis in June, but police have yet to establish a motive.
He was buried at a cemetery near the family's home in Shufat district.
Hundreds of Palestinian youths clashed with Israeli police in East Jerusalem before and after the funeral.
The funeral came as Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip continued to trade fire into each other's territory, though with less intensity than in recent days.

Earlier on Friday, a Hamas source was quoted as saying that the organisation was ready to halt its rocket and mortar attacks on southern Israel if the Israeli military ceased its air raids on the Palestinian territory, as part of a ceasefire deal brokered by Egyptian officials.
However, another Hamas official, speaking to the BBC later on Friday, said an agreement had yet to be reached.
An Israeli security official told the BBC: "The ball is in Hamas' court. We informed Hamas that calm will be answered with calm."


Israeli officials handed the body of 16-year-old Mohammad Abu Khdair over to his family on Friday morning.
It was said to be badly burnt following his abduction and murder, slowing the identification process and preventing the family from burying him on Thursday in line with Islamic tradition.
Shrouded in a Palestinian flag, it was carried by mourners through the streets of East Jerusalem after the first Friday prayer services of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
