A funeral in Gaza for a Hamas gunman killed in Israeli airstrike.

The man died Sunday just before dawn near the central town of Khan Younis.

Another militant from Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip, was also wounded in the air strike.

The attack comes amid a surge in tit-for-tat fighting along the restive border between Israel and the Palestinian territory.

In the last week, militants have fired dozens of rockets into Israeli towns, damaging homes and wounding several people.
