<p class="article">Hundreds  of Palestinians, internationals and Israeli peace activists attended  Abu Rahma&#8217;s funeral in a procession through the village of Bil&#8217;in on  Saturday, in which residents released a statement condemning the death.</p>
<p>“The loss of Jawaher Abu Rahma makes us feel more determined to continue  to resist against the illegal settlements and the apartheid wall, until  the residents of Bil&#8217;in achieve justice and freedom and can live in  peace,” the statement underlined.</p>
<p>Bil&#8217;in popular committee spokesman Jonathan Pollak said in a statement  that Abu Rahmah arrived at the Ramallah hospital unconscious, after  being poisoned by an active ingredient in the tear gas, and doctors were  unable to revive her.</p>
<p>“She did not die because of a lack of medical treatment, but because  Israeli forces used a lethal tear gas banned in several European  countries,” Pollak added.</p>
<p>Although several sources reported that Jawaher was taking part to the  nonviolent protest on Friday, local witnesses claimed that she was not  attending the demonstration, as she was in her home, approximately 500  meters away from where the gas canisters landed.</p>
<p>Jawaher Abu Rahma was the sister of Bassem Abu Rahma, who was also  killed after being hit by a tear gas canister in 2009 during a  nonviolent weekly demonstration against the Annexation Wall in Bil&#8217;in.</p>
<p>On Saturday, the Israeli army stated that they would investigate the  death of Abu Rahma, without giving any other explanations, Ma&#8217;an News  reported.</p>
