Thousands of people are attending the funeral of Diar Umari, 19, after he was shot dead yesterday in a roadside fight.

“With spirit and blood, we will redeem you, martyr!” mourners chant in his hometown of Sandala in northern Israel.

The funeral is held hours after the man accused of killing Umar appeared in court, which ordered an extension of his remand.
