Ramallah, January 25 (RHC)-- In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, residents gathered for the funeral of a 13-year-old Palestinian girl shot dead by Israeli security guards Saturday.

Israeli police say Ruqayya Eid Abu Eid was killed after she tried to stab an Israeli guard at a Jewish-only settlement Anatot. This comes as Palestinians demand the release of the bodies of at least 10 Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces since October. 

Over the weekend, families staged a symbolic funeral, carrying empty coffins on a march to the United Nations headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, demanding the Israeli government return the bodies of Palestinians held in Israeli morgues.
