Mideast Conflict

Palestinian mourners gather around the bodies of five Hamas militants and and a six year-old girl during their funeral at the Al Omare Mosque in Gaza City,Saturday, July 26, 2008. A powerful explosion ripped through a car on a busy Gaza City beach Friday night, killing five Hamas militants and Safady and injuring 20, Hamas security officials said. It was the third mysterious blast of the day in Gaza after a relatively calm period that has followed a cease-fire between Israel and the territory's Islamic Hamas rulers. Hamas security arrested dozens of supporters of the rival Fatah group Saturday, and hurled grenades at the home of one Fatah leader and set up checkpoints across Gaza, Palestinian sources said.
