Police Spokeswoman: In recent hours, Israeli police officers have been working in Jerusalem in order to enable the proper existence of the journalist's companion, Sheerin Abu Akala.

Unfortunately under the auspices of the funeral and while cynically and improperly exploiting it, hundreds of outlaws and rioters began to disrupt public order, even before the funeral began.

Towards the exit of the coffin from the hospital, stone-throwing began towards the policemen from the French hospital plaza, and the policemen were forced to act instead of scattering from the riots.

Those lawbreakers and violent violators are trying to disrupt the proper course of the funeral and harm the security forces and we will act against them with all the tools at our disposal.

At this time the funeral procession began.
