Thousands grieve at Beit Hanoun funeral

Tens of thousands of grieving Gazans, weeping in anguish and screaming for revenge, crammed into a cemetery today to bury 18 civilians killed by an errant Israeli artillery barrage that tore through a crowded residential neighbourhood.

The emotional throngs reached towards the sky or collapsed in grief as a despondent father carried the lifeless body of his one-year-old baby in his arms.
