STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral of two people who were killed during an Israeli raid in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem.
The bodies of Iman Juma’a, a 50-year-old woman, and Yazan Abdo, a 30-year-old man, were carried through the streets.
In total, at least six people were killed during the raid, at least three of them known militants.
On Wednesday, the Israeli military released footage of a person dressed as a woman wearing a paramedic vest and holding a gun, but did not show the person’s face.
The video could not be independently verified by the AP, and the military did not provide any further evidence.
At the funeral, the body of Juma’a was covered with a paramedic jacket.
Tulkarem and its two refugee camps have become a flashpoint in the West Bank and are regularly raided by Israeli forces.
Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, are active in the city.
For several years, the Israeli military has been carrying out near-nightly raids in the Israeli-occupied West Bank that intensified when the war in Gaza erupted.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 500 Palestinians have been killed in the ensuing violence, many of them in clashes with Israeli soldiers but others while throwing stones or protesting.
People not involved in confrontations have also been killed.
