Four Palestinians were wounded in clashes Monday with Israeli soldiers guarding two Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, where thousands of people marched in a funeral for a man killed Sunday, witnesses and hospital officials said.
The four were shot with live rounds in clashes between stone-throwing demonstrators and Israeli troops near the Netzarim and Kfar Darom Jewish settlements, hospital officials said.
In Gaza City, a dozen gunmen led at least 3,000 mourners at a funeral procession for Marwan Khalil Al-Ghamri, 28, who was shot in the heart by Israeli soldiers Sunday at the Karni crossing point between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
"Revenge!" "Revenge!" some of the mourners cried out. "With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for the martyrs!" added others.
