Palestinians chant Islamic slogans while they carry the body of Jehad El-Smare, a militant from the Hamas-allied Popular Resistance Committee, at a mosque during his funeral in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010. El-Smare was killed during an Israeli air strike in which two others were wounded in southern Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed that it carried out the airstrike late Tuesday. Such airstrikes have been relatively rare in the year since Israel's large-scale three-week invasion of Gaza ended.
