STORYLINE:
The Israeli army says it is investigating the death of a twelve year old Palestinian boy and the wounding of 11 people during a funeral on Monday.
About 1,500 Palestinians joined the funeral procession of a Palestinian police officer who died of injuries sustained during an Israeli rocket attack last week.
During the burial ceremony at the Khan Yunis cemetery, adjacent to the Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim, several dozen gunmen fired in the air as a sign of respect.
In response, long bursts were fired from the direction of the settlement which is guarded by an Israeli army post, witnesses said, adding that they did not see who was shooting.
Mourners quickly scattered, many seeking shelter in abandoned buildings and behind stone walls.
A 12-year-old Palestinian boy was killed and 11 Palestinians wounded, including one person who was in critical condition.
