Palestinians vow revenge as Israeli raid kills 14

PALESTINIANS vowed to strike at the heart of Israel yesterday as some 10,000 mourners gathered at the funerals in central Gaza for the victims of a massive Israeli army operation.

Thirteen of the 14 victims, including Islamist militants and children, of the early morning operation at the Nusseirat and the neighbouring Bureij refugee camps were buried in a mass ceremony in a nearby cemetery yesterday afternoon.

Scores of masked, gun-toting militants mingled among the crowds who chanted: "Revenge, revenge" and "Our answer will be in Tel Aviv".
