Clashes as Thousands of Palestinians Gather in Jerusalem for Young Man's Funeral

Thousands of Palestinians gathered in Jerusalem on Monday, May 16, for the funeral of a 21-year-old man who died from injuries sustained during clashes at the Temple Mount last month.

Walid al-Sharif, 21, died from his wounds on Saturday, Haaretz said.

Video filmed by the Palestinian network Al Qastal shows his coffin being carried amongst a huge crowd before clashes break out between security forces and Palestinians. A number of people are seen being detained by police.
