Honoring the dead in Ramallah

Honoring the dead in Ramallah

Funeral services are held in the West Bank for 80 Palestinians whose attacks killed hundreds of Israelis over the past 35 years. The remains of 11 bodies were received in Gaza Thursday.

Israel says it hoped the handover might help revive peace efforts. But Palestinian leaders are signaling no shift in their refusal to negotiate as long as Israel continues building settlements on land where they hope to establish a state.

The dead included more than 20 suicide bombers who killed more than 200 people in attacks in Israeli cities from 1995 to 2006.
