Al Jazeera’s account is echoed in a short-form repost by Modern Ghana, which describes that Israeli forces “raided the funeral of two Palestinians killed by settlers at a school in the occupied West Bank, firing tear gas at mourners.”

WAFA, meanwhile, places the funeral in the village of Al-Mughayyir east of Ramallah on April 22, 2026, saying Israeli occupation forces attacked mourners attending the funeral procession of two Palestinians.

WAFA identifies the dead as the child Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14, and the young man Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im, 32, and says the bodies would be laid to rest in the village cemetery following funeral prayers at the local mosque.

The WAFA account also specifies the weapons used against mourners, saying Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at the funeral procession.

Taken together, the reports describe a funeral in the occupied West Bank where Israeli forces used tear gas and other munitions to disperse mourners, with the dead named and their ages given by WAFA.

WAFA links the funeral directly to an earlier killing on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, describing that Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14, and Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im, 32, were killed during an attack by colonists on a boys school in the village of Al-Mughayyir.

The WAFA report says the funeral procession took place on April 22, 2026, and that local sources told WAFA the bodies would be laid to rest in the village cemetery following funeral prayers at the local mosque.

Peoples Dispatch also describes a sequence of deaths across the occupied West Bank in the past two days, stating that Aws al-Nassan (14) and Jihad Abu Na’im (32) were shot dead in a terror attack carried out by illegal Israeli settlers on a boys school in the central West Bank governorate of Ramallah and al-Bireh on Tuesday, April 21.

Peoples Dispatch adds that Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas on mourners taking part in the funeral procession of Al-Nassan and Abu Na’im the next day.

Peoples Dispatch further reports that Tuesday also saw the death of another Palestinian, stating that “(16), who was run over by a car of an Israeli colonist, while he was riding a bike on his way to school in the southern governorate of Hebron.”

It also says a fourth fatality was reported in the northern governorate of Jenin after a Palestinian woman (45) succumbed to injuries sustained during an IOF raid on Jenin refugee camp two and a half years ago.

Across the three sources, the same two names and ages—Aws al-Nassan (14) and Jihad Abu Na’im (32)—anchor the funeral narrative, while Peoples Dispatch expands the timeline to other deaths in Hebron and Jenin.

The accounts place the funeral within a broader escalation across the occupied West Bank over multiple days.

WAFA dates the funeral attack to Wednesday, April 22, 2026, and describes it as an attack on mourners attending the funeral of two Palestinians in Al-Mughayyir east of Ramallah.

WAFA says the two were killed during an attack by colonists on a boys school in the village on Tuesday, and it specifies that the funeral procession followed funeral prayers at the local mosque.

Peoples Dispatch frames the same two killings as part of “different parts of the occupied West Bank in the past two days,” and it states that Aws al-Nassan (14) and Jihad Abu Na’im (32) were killed on Tuesday, April 21, with the funeral procession and subsequent dispersal occurring the next day.

Peoples Dispatch also adds that Wednesday, April 22, included the killing of Odeh Awawdeh (29) in Israeli gunfire after settlers attacked the village of Deir Debwan, east of Ramallah.

It further claims that “Israel killed 1,156 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023,” tying that total to the assaults launched on Tuesday and Wednesday.

WAFA, for its part, includes a separate statistical claim attributed to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, stating that Israeli forces and colonists carried out 1,819 attacks during March, with 1,322 carried out by Israeli forces and 497 by colonists.

WAFA’s report not only describes the funeral attack but also embeds it in a monthly pattern of violence, citing the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

WAFA says the commission reported that Israeli forces and colonists carried out 1,819 attacks during March, with 1,322 carried out by Israeli forces and 497 by colonists.

It adds that the commission said the attacks were concentrated mainly in Hebron with 321 incidents, Nablus with 315, Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate with 292, and Jerusalem with 203.

Those figures are presented alongside the funeral narrative, with the funeral itself occurring in the Ramallah and al-Bireh area.

Peoples Dispatch similarly provides a running tally, stating that “Israel killed 1,156 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023,” and it says the death toll has risen to 1,156 following the assaults launched on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Peoples Dispatch also states that at least five Palestinians were killed, including two children and a woman, in different parts of the occupied West Bank in the past two days.

In the same report, Peoples Dispatch attributes the broader framing to “Israeli far-right government officials, such as Ben-Gvir and Strook,” and it says they are known for “racism and incitement of violence against Palestinians.”

While the core event—Israeli forces firing tear gas at a funeral for two Palestinians killed by settlers—appears consistently across the sources, the details and framing differ.

Al Jazeera describes Israeli forces raiding the funeral of two Palestinians killed by settlers at a school in the occupied West Bank, firing tear gas at mourners, and it presents the incident as part of the occupied West Bank context.

CNN

Modern Ghana repeats the same description in its short-form repost, stating that Israeli forces raided the funeral and fired tear gas at mourners.

WAFA, however, specifies the location and timing more precisely, saying the funeral was in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, and it lists the dead as Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14, and Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im, 32.

WAFA also adds that Israeli forces fired live ammunition and stun grenades, not only tear gas, and it says the bodies would be laid to rest in the village cemetery following funeral prayers at the local mosque.

Peoples Dispatch aligns with WAFA on the use of live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas on mourners, but it frames the killings as “a terror attack carried out by illegal Israeli settlers” and describes the overall violence as “Israeli violence.”

Peoples Dispatch also expands the narrative beyond the funeral by adding other deaths, including a Palestinian run-over in Hebron and a death in Jenin, and it provides the total of 1,156 Palestinians killed since October 2023.

The sources provided do not describe a specific immediate policy response or a named investigation tied to the funeral tear-gassing itself, but they do lay out what they say is the continuing pattern of violence and the scale of casualties.

WAFA states that the bodies of Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14, and Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im, 32, would be laid to rest in the village cemetery following funeral prayers at the local mosque, indicating the next step for the families after the funeral procession was attacked.

Peoples Dispatch, meanwhile, reports that the violence did not stop with the funeral, describing additional deaths on Tuesday and Wednesday, including the death of Odeh Awawdeh (29) in Israeli gunfire after settlers attacked Deir Debwan, east of Ramallah.

Peoples Dispatch also asserts that “Israel killed 1,156 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023,” which it says reflects the cumulative impact of assaults launched on Tuesday and Wednesday.

WAFA’s inclusion of March totals—1,819 attacks in March, including 1,322 by Israeli forces and 497 by colonists—also frames what comes next as a continuation of a quantified pattern across multiple governorates.

The report’s concentration figures for Hebron (321), Nablus (315), Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate (292), and Jerusalem (203) suggest that the areas connected to the funeral are part of a broader geographic spread described by the commission.

Finally, Peoples Dispatch’s political framing points to ongoing stakes tied to “Israeli far-right government officials, such as Ben-Gvir and Strook,” which it says are known for “racism and incitement of violence against Palestinians.”
