Palestinian mourners carry the body of Mohammed Shaaban, a commander in the Hamas' armed wing, during his funeral in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip July 8, 2014. Israel bombarded the Gaza Strip on Tuesday in strikes that Palestinian officials said killed at least 11 people, stepping up what threatens to become a long-term offensive against Islamist group Hamas after scores of rockets hit Israeli towns. The attacks killed at least six people in a house, the Palestinian Interior Ministry said. Four others died in a car struck in Gaza City, medical officials said, one of whom a pro-Hamas website identified as Shaaban. Photo by Ashraf Amra
