长难句解析

And thousands of mourners1 have marched2 through the streets of Nablus in the West Bank during funerals3 held for five Palestinians killed in an Israeli raid4.

解：主语1+谓语2+状语3+定语4

析：本句的主语为“thousands of mourners” ，谓语为“have marched”，其后的介词短语“through the streets of Nablus in the West Bank”和“during funerals”分别作地点状语和时间状语，过去分词短语“held for five Palestinians”和“killed in an Israeli raid”分别作“funerals”和“Palestinians”的后置定语。
