Thousands of Palestinians rioted in the Shuafat Refugee Camp, north of Jerusalem, on Tuesday, firing weapons in the air, waving knives and chanting slogans threatening to "slaughter Jews." Footage of the riot, which took place roughly 100 yards from the capital's French Hill neighborhood, was aired by Channel 10 News on Thursday.
The incident took place during the funeral of terrorist Muhammad Said Ali, killed on Oct. 10 when he attempted to stab two policemen. His body was returned to his family earlier this week.
The report showed crowds of mourners, waving Palestinian and Hamas flags, brandishing swords and guns, and chanting, among other things, "Itbah al-yahud" -- "slaughter the Jews."
Channel 10 Arab affairs analyst Zvi Yehezkeli said the presence of Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades operatives was overt. He noted the riot was in line with Hamas' efforts to escalate the current wave of terrorism.
The Islamist group has urged its operatives, and especially sympathizers who reside in east Jerusalem and can move freely across Israel, to carry out shooting and suicide attacks against Israelis, and has claimed responsibility for several stabbing attacks.
