The bodies of a senior Hamas leader's small children were today ghoulishly paraded through the streets of Gaza as the group pledged to avenge their deaths.
Nizar Rayan, his four wives and 10 of his children were all killed by in an Israeli air strike on his home after he ignored warnings they should go into hiding.
In grisly scenes, mourners held up the bloodied bodies of the children to the cameras in a clear attempt to blacken Israel's name and highlight its brutality.
Graphic images showed the young children's uncovered faces as the victims were carried by thousands of angry Hamas supporters during the funeral procession.
Rayan, 49, who ranked among Hamas' top five decision makers, was killed yesterday when a one-ton bomb razed his home in the northern town of Jebaliya.
A total of 20 people died in the blast which came on the sixth day of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Exodus from Gaza in fear of invasion
Israel's military says the homes of Hamas leaders are being used to store missiles and other weapons, making them a legitimate target.
Rayan, an influential preacher, had previously denied Israel's existence and was a known mentor of suicide bombers.
He even sent one of his sons on an October 2001 suicide mission that killed two Israeli settlers in Gaza.

Great thread. Thanks to all posters.
UH, that is obviously a plastic doll.
Is that what they actually displayed?
Maybe that’s a lot better than displaying real corpses in their street theater, but I’m surprised that Reuters couldn’t figure it out.
OK, no, I’m not surprised by anything missed or mis-reported by the Mediascum.
Yup, it’s called necrophilia and it is one of the central obsessions of Islamo-fascists.
Were they handing out candy in celebration over in Israel? ... I didn’t think so. What a contrast to have 21st Century people living next door to fourth century dullards. God bless Israel!
I thought they loved death like Israelis love life?
“Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us.” Golda Meir
Obviously they have a LONG way to go.
It’s a doll. The photo is actually from a rally of anti-Israel wackos in Amsterdam, not from the Gaza “funerals.” I regret that I didn’t indicate this when I posted the picture. I see how it could be assumed to have been taken in Gaza. I apologize to any FReeper who was inadvertently misled.

He kept his kids as human shield.
4 wives, 10 kids = 2.5 kids per wife. Family planning, moz style.
