DHEISHEH, West Bank — Palestinian tradition dictates that only men transport the dead to their graves.
For a few moments, she led the funerary procession for Amr, 14, who Palestinians say was killed by an Israeli bullet during a raid in the Dheisheh refugee camp.
Around her, mourners packed the street inside the camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank just south of Bethlehem.
Around Khamour, posters large and small from a variety of Palestinian organizations and institutions declared Amr a martyr.
In 2022, 29 people were killed by Palestinians in Israel, east Jerusalem and the West Bank, according Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
