Sorrow and fury as Gaza buries its dead
Gaza - Ma'an - Crowds of Palestinians angrily took to the streets in the Gaza Strip refugee camp on Monday for the funeral processions of three Palestinians who were killed by Israeli forces on Sunday.

Mahmoud Zahhar,
Death toll in Gaza rises to 19 after new Israeli raid on Gaza City
The death toll in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday has risen to 19 after two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid into northern Gaza City on Tuesday evening.
Just hours after the Israeli withdrawal from the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, eyewitnesses said an Israeli rocket attack near the agricultural school left two people dead and several others injured.
Mu'awiyah Hassanein, the head of ambulance and emergency services in the Palestinian Health Ministry, said the injured were transferred to Beit Hanoun Hospital for treatment.
Earlier in the day Israeli tank fire killed 17 Palestinians, including five civilians and the son of senior Hamas leader
Mahmoud Zahhar,
in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City within four hours on Tuesday, witnesses and medics said.
13 of the dead are thought to be members of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades.
An estimated 50 Palestinians were injured.
Eyewitnesses said that Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with Israeli tanks and armored vehicles as they slowly pushed towards the eastern Gaza City neighborhoods of Ash-Shuja'iyya and Zeitoun.
Witnesses also said that Israeli bulldozers destroyed farmers' groves in the area.
Separately, witnesses said that Israeli military vehicles invaded the industrial zone near the Erez border crossing in the northern Gaza Strip.
Civilian deaths
The Gaza-Based Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said that five Palestinian civilians were killed by what they called "indiscriminant" tank fire. According to PCHR, three farmers were killed:
As'ad Eissa Radwan Tafesh, 66

Zahhar reacts
Mahmoud Zahhar is one of Hamas' founders and served as Palestinan foreign minister from 2006 to 2007.
In September 2003, Zahhar's other son Khaled was killed in an Israeli airstrike that completely destroyed Zahhar's home in Zeitoun.
"This is one of the results of the Bush visit. He encouraged the Israelis to kill our people," Zahhar told reporters.
"What is going on in Gaza today is a shame for all of those who cooperated with [US President George W.] Bush, the criminal, and with the Zionists," Zahar said. "I am talking about all kings, presidents and ministers," he said, in an apparent criticism of Arab leaders who met with Bush.
"We are telling them, today they are killing our sons, tomorrow they are going to kill yours."
PA condemns attack
The official spokesperson of the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rdainah, condemned the Israeli attack in the name of the Palestinian Authority (PA), calling the incursion "brutal" and "a criminal act." He said that such attacks will weaken the position of Palestinian negotiators in talks with Israeli officials. He called on the Israeli government to stop impeding the peace process.
Meanwhile Hamas' armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for shooting and killing a person in the Israeli kibbutz of Ein Hashlosha east of Al-Qarara in in the southern Gaza Strip.
IOF killed 17 Palestinians, including 5 civilians, and wounded 30 others, including a woman, during an incursion into the east of Gaza City, which lasted for 4 hours.

Hamas leader Zahhar buries his second son killed by Israeli forces
Gaza - Ma'an - The Gaza-based daily newspaper Palestine Today published on Wednesday an image of senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahhar with tears in his eyes, as he bid farewell to his son Husam, who was killed in an Israeli raid on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
Husam was the second of Zahhar's son to be killed by the Israeli forces. His elder son, Khalid, was killed in 2003.
Husam Zahhar had undergone military training inside Palestine and abroad. He joined the Al-Qassam's elite unit who protect Hamas leaders.
Sources close to Mahmoud Zahhar said that after he heard the news of his son's death, he headed directly to the mortuary to kiss him for the last time. Isma'il Haniyeh, and other Hamas leaders were waiting at Zahar's house to offer condolences.
During Husam's funeral, Zahhar delivered a short speech to thousands of mourners, saying, "We do not send those young men to death for entertainment, or because we are hard-hearted. We are fathers and we realize very well what it means to lose a son. However, Palestine is dear and paradise is dearer, and liberation and dignity are much better than remaining under occupation."
"As I bid my most beloved one farewell, as I did with my elder son Khalid and other leaders before, I say that departure is very hard, yet what helps us remain patient is our prayers that God helps us remain steadfast. My vows to my sons and other 'martyrs' are that we will never give up until all of Palestine is free and we enter Jerusalem," he added.
