STORYLINE:
Thousands of people attended the funerals of three Palestinian militants in Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip on Saturday.
The three were killed in an Israeli airstrike after the men fired a rocket into Israel on Friday, Palestinian officials said.
In a separate attack on Friday, seven civilians were killed when Israeli artillery tore into a beachside picnic in Gaza.
The violent events have fuelled anger already heightened by the death of a top militant commander in the Hamas-led government in an airstrike on Thursday.
Following the attacks, the Hamas group called off a truce with Israel, which it has observed since February 2005.
Overnight, Hamas claimed responsibility for launching at least 15 rockets as well as a barrage of mortar bombs.
The attacks caused no casualties, and the Israeli army said nearly all of the rounds appeared to have landed inside Gaza.
Israel said its attacks on Friday were aimed at areas that Palestinian militants used to fire homemade rockets at the Jewish state.
