Another witness said the army failed to break up the service. "People were laying carnations at the spot where Rachel was killed when a tank came and fired teargas right on them. Then a core group of the peace activists took an ISM cloth banner to the fence and pinned it up.
"The tank chased after them trying to stop them with teargas but the wind was against the army," she said.

Tensions rose further when a convoy of vehicles, including the bulldozer that killed Ms Corrie, passed the area.
"I don't think it was deliberate but it was pretty insensitive," said Mr Smith.
"I think they had been destroying some buildings elsewhere and had to pass by to get back to their base." The army said it was investigating the incident.
