Witnesses and police said that the crowd marched from Ayyash's home in the Ras Al-Amud neighborhood past a nearby Jewish-only settlement where Israeli security forces fired tear gas at stone-throwing youngsters in the crowd. There were reports of injuries and arrests in Israeli media.
Carrying Palestinian flags and the banner of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, the mourners, some of them masked, chanted "Allah Akbar" (God is great) and "With our blood and our soul, we shall sacrifice for the martyr," as they marched to the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City.
On arrival at the mosque, some hoisted the Palestinian flag from its roof. After prayers Ayyash was interred at a Muslim cemetery just outside the city walls.
