Mourners gathered for a funeral in Gaza on Saturday (May 4) after an Israeli air strike killed one Palestinian gunman as hostilities flared across the border for a second day.
Gaza militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel on Saturday drawing a wave of Israeli air strikes following an escalation of violence that started on Friday (May 3), when two Israeli soldiers were wounded by Gaza gunfire near the border.
A retaliatory Israeli air strike killed two militants from the Islamist Hamas group and two other Palestinians protesting near the frontier were also killed by Israeli forces.
On Saturday, Israel hit Gaza with air strikes and tank fire after Palestinian militants fired more than 90 rockets toward Israeli cities and villages.
The Israeli military said its forces had carried out attacks against more than 30 targets belonging to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.
A small armed pro-Hamas group in Gaza, The Protectors of Al-Aqsa, said one of its men was killed in an air strike on Saturday.
The Gaza Health Ministry said six Palestinians were wounded, residents identified two of them as militants, and the Palestinian Education Ministry said it was evacuating schools in areas under Israeli bombardment as the explosions rocked Gaza.
