This is not an isolated incident as it is precedented, a few days ago, by the repression of ceremonies pertaining to the funeral of Aljazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akla who was assassinated on-field by an explosive bullet shot by an Israeli sniper as she was covering the news in her helmet and protective armor.
