palestinian firing into air — A Palestinian man fires in the air during the funeral of Mohammed Abu Meilq in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Two Palestinian men were killed after Israeli aircraft struck the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, officials from both sides said, as a flare up in violence threatened a brittle cease-fire. The Israeli military spokesman's office said the strike was launched in response to rocket fire at southern Israel, and that targets were hit. It did not elaborate. (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)
