Or even this one.

If its the second one they go one to note,
Police said the crowd at the hospital was chanting “nationalist incitement,” ignored calls to stop and threw stones at them. “The policemen were forced to act,” police said. They issued a video in which a commander outside the hospital warns the crowd that police will come in if they don’t stop their incitement and “nationalist songs.”

and
Israeli police later escorted the casket in a black van, ripping Palestinian flags off the vehicle as it made its way to the church.

To me it seems there is a lot of anger there, on both sides. I cant see any justification for attacking people carrying a coffin though.
