Tens of thousands of Palestinians attended Thursday the Bethlehem funerals of four militants, including Muhammad Shahade, an Islamic Jihad operative who Palestinian sources say was behind the terror attack at the Mercaz Harav rabbinical seminary in Jerusalem last week.

Shahade was killed
along with three other militants during an IDF raid on the West Bank city Wednesday afternoon. His body was draped in Hizbullah and Islamic Jihad flags.
During the funeral gunmen called to avenge his death and fired in the air, while Fatah representative Kamel Hamayed demanded a "firm hand" against Palestinians collaborating with Israel, who he said played a major role in Shahade's death.
A mourners' tent was set up in honor of the deceased militants.
