Several thousand mourners have joined the funeral procession for the wife and baby son of Hamas' military commander Mohammed Deif.
Addressing the mourners, a young man passed on the condolences of the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and prayers were read for two other men who died earlier on Wednesday when a rocket hit their motorcycle in the northern town of Beit Lahiya.
Hamas said Israel had targeted Deif's house in airstrikes on Tuesday, which left his wife and child dead.
Al Jazeera's Jane Ferguson, reporting from Gaza, said "Locals here say it was struck by Israeli airstrikes at least five times on Tuesday night."
"Hamas have come out and said that Deif was not killed, that he is still alive and still in his commanding position."
"The occupation will pay for its crimes against Palestinian civilians and those living around the Gaza border will not return home until Mohammed Deif decides," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. The guy caused the death of his own family and those of others.
If the Israelis wanted peace, these kinds of extreme bombings would not happen. What are the Israelis trying to do? Goad Palis to accept ISIS tactics?
Jihadist maker, and future jihadist out of the terror business.
Israel wants peace, but since you can't reason with the unreasonable, other measures must be employed.
Comment on my posted pic:
The image was intended to reference the “Hamas leader” not his family, who may have had nothing to do with the actions of their patriarch.
Israel should fear making these extremists more extreme? Really? How is that even possible when they use women and children as shields and force them to stand in targeted areas so they can become collateral damage for the media to fixate on?
Do you actually believe that terrorists want peace, and that you can negotiate with Islamic totalitarians?
Just wow....
Entire family of terrorists ought to be killed.
Destroy their home, dog, wife, kids, mom, dad, brother and sister, worm farm whatever. Let would be terrorists understand their will be consequences and retribution./
Course this weenie obammy will offer M.R.E.’s.
Coordinate please...
