The Egyptian policeman who carried out the shooting attack on Saturday against IDF soldiers was buried Sunday evening in Egypt in a quiet funeral with very few participants. He murdered three IDF soldiers guarding a largely peaceful border, Lia Ben-Nun, Uri Iloz, and Ohad Dahan. The terrorist's family buried him in the Al-Qalioubia district in northern Egypt, the area where he was born. According to Egyptian media, the burial ceremony was limited to the presence of a small number of people, this at Israel's request, however social media accounts linked to Palestinian groups have been sharing funeral videos that seem to show a large presence and celebrations of victory for the martyr. Considering some of the videos look different that others, it is fair to assume these are manufactured for propaganda purposes.
