Members of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, attended the funeral, at which some called "Vengeance" .
The martyrdom of Yaser is a clear proof of the crimes committed by the (Israeli) occupation against the Palestinian people, said a senior Hamas official, Jalil Al Haya, at the ceremony.

The child is one of the two Palestinians killed Friday by the Israeli army in clashes at the border, according to the local health ministry.

The burial of the second dead Palestinian, Mohamed Al Hamayda, took place on Saturday in Rafah.
