Israeli strike kills mourners at Gaza funeral

An Israeli airstrike hit a funeral procession in Gaza on July 17, 2026, killing at least eight people, according to Hamas and local officials. The funeral was for a victim of an earlier Israeli attack. Reports from multiple sources vary on the death toll, with some saying seven or eight killed and over 20 wounded. The Israeli military has opened dozens of investigations into the deaths of detained Gazans, but no one has been charged in those cases.
