Large crowds, including many journalists, have gathered at Sheikh Radwan Cemetery in the heart of the Gaza Strip to bid farewell to the journalists killed by Israeli forces, Al Jazeera reports.

Friends, colleagues and relatives hugged and consoled one another. A man was seen raising a “press” flak jacket as others wiped away their tears.

Footage shared online from the funeral procession and verified by Al Jazeera showed mourners chanting slogans condemning the assassination of the journalists.
