Hundreds marched in a funeral procession for a senior member of a Palestinian militant group who was killed overnight on Sunday in the occupied West Bank, in what Palestinians described as a targeted explosion carried out by Israel.
Tamer Kilani, a leader in a group known as the "Den of Lions" in the city of Nablus, where clashes between Palestinian militants and Israeli security forces have been occurring almost daily, was killed when a bomb placed on a motorcycle parked nearby was detonated, according to the militant group.
The Israeli military declined to comment on the explosion. A spokesperson told Reuters the military was "operating against terror all the time."
Sunday's violence follows months of tension that has deepened since Israeli forces began a crackdown in the West Bank in March in response to a series of attacks by Palestinians in Israel.
