Thousands of Palestinians marched through Gaza today firing guns, waving flags of different militant groups and chanting religious slogans in a funeral procession for three Hamas military leaders who were killed in an Israeli air strike.

The bodies of Mohammed Abu Shamaleh, Mohammed Barhoum and Raed al-Attar were carried aloft through the crowd on stretchers wrapped in green Hamas flags. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said Israel 'will not succeed in breaking the will of our people or weaken the resistance', adding that their enemies 'will pay the price.'A spokesman for the Israeli Defence Force countered by claiming that Hamas militants had fired more than 300 rockets since the end of the ceasfire two days ago.About 2,000 reservists who were sent home about two weeks ago, when the violence appeared to have subsided, were called back for service yesterday.Earlier, Israel's Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv was placed on high alert following a warning by Hamas that it would be targeted.In a televised address late on Wednesday, a spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades had warned foreign airlines against flying into Tel Aviv from 6am (0400 BST) in a bid to disrupt air traffic. But all flights were operating normally early today, officials said.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
