The Hamas Ministry of Interior in the Gaza Strip — which has arrested four people accused of involvement in the brutal death of Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni and which has published the photos of three more men who are wanted for the murder — has announced that the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt will be open today for those wanting to travel … to perform the Umrah (or minor) pilgrimage in Mecca.
However, Vittorio Arrigoni’s body will be transported from the same Rafah crossing at 2pm today, after a funeral service at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City at 1pm. The body will then be flown from Egypt to Italy, where it will be buried in his family’s cemetary, according to reports on Twitter.
One Tweet, from @LilianeKhalil, adds this report: “Many of #Vittorio’s friends have arrived in #Gaza for the funeral, others expected to arrive in the morning. (Source: #Hamas)”…
Most of these friends will probably also arrive via Rafah (rather than via Israel’s Erez crossing)
There is considerable taunting today — by Twitter accounts clearly run by Israelis — of anyone Tweeting about Vittorio…
Here is a video now posted on Youtube, which has Vittorio’s favorite Palestinian song, Onadikum, as its soundtrack. It begins with doctors in Shifa Hospital preparing Vittorio’s death certificate…
And, here is a video made today before and during the funeral service in Gaza:

Israel and Palestinian is a very long conflict both sides sit together and have a peace talks then they can find a good solution for this problem but this situation has to be changed. If this fighting continuous among them it will not only effect in that region but also this can effect on allover the world.
