The incident occurred on April 22, 2026, when Israeli forces conducted a raid on the burial ceremony being held at an educational facility in the West Bank. The two deceased individuals had been killed in an encounter involving settlers, according to reports of the event.

Mourners assembled at the school to pay their respects were met with chemical irritants as security forces moved through the funeral gathering. The operation resulted in significant disruption to the mourning ceremony and raised renewed concerns about the security situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
