Tunisian Teen Who Died Raising Palestinian Flag Celebrated as ‘Martyr’

A 16-year-old Tunisian boy fell to his death while attempting to hoist a Palestinian flag, according to regional sources, and has since been praised as a “martyr” by Palestinian factions and Arab activists, raising concerns of growing youth radicalization.

The incident took place Tuesday in Tunisia’s Manouba province, where teenager Fares Khaled climbed onto a school building and lost his balance, plummeting over six stories.
