Around 1,000 children, teenagers, and adults took part in the parch, including Knesset Members Muhammad Barakeh and Jamal Zahalka.
Slogans heard during the march called for unity between the three religious groups in Shfaram, Muslims, Druze, and Christians.
'We'll redeem the martyr'
The father of one of those arrested, Haytam Herev, said that the protesters proved that the city's unity was unstoppable, and would eventually bring about the release of the suspects.
In addition, youths called out pro-Palestinian nationalistic slogans, such as "with our spirit and our blood we'll redeem the martyr."
MK Zahlaka called for an investigation to expose who was behind the act of the soldier responsible for the shooting attach in which four civilians were murdered.
He said that there were those who financed and trained Natan Zada, and sent him to carry out the shooting.
"Maybe only one person murdered, but many took part and stood behind the killing," MK Zahlaka said.
