A funeral procession for an Israeli man killed by a rocket from Gaza took place Sunday. Relatives of Moshe Agadi, the man killed, mourn him in the southern Israeli town of Ashkelon, near the Gaza border. Fighting between Palestinian militants and the Israeli army surged, Sunday, May 5.
The fighting comes as Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders are in Cairo trying to finalize a fragile agreement that they hoped would lead to a long-term cease-fire in Gaza.
The latest violent outbreak, the most intense along the Gaza in weeks, also comes days before Muslims begin the holy month of Ramadan and Israelis celebrate Independence Day.
