Unidentified female relatives of Jamil Qofa, one of two Palestinian gunmen killed on April 4, 2009 in clashes with Israeli troops along the border of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, mourn during his funeral in the southern Gaza strip town of Khan Yunis. An Israeli army spokeswoman said the gunbattle took place when Israeli ground forces crossed several hundred metres into Gaza after identifying the gunmen approaching the heavily-guarded border fence in northern Gaza. Palestinian medics later recovered the bodies of two gunmen killed in the clashes, according to the head of emergency services for the Gaza Strip. APAIMAGES PHOTO / Ashraf Amra
