Palestinians held funeral prayers outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Sunday after officials said six people, including a teenager, were killed in two Israeli strikes the night before. The mother and grandmother of a 15-year-old boy who was killed peeled back the white funeral shroud and kissed his cheeks as they sobbed.

The new year brought more death for civilians in Gaza as Israel Defense Forces airstrikes resulted in 17 killed on Wednesday, according to Palestinian accounts.
