Israeli soldiers carry the coffin of Sgt Nissim Sean Carmeli, during his funeral at the military cemetery in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, yesterday. Sgt. Carmeli, from Texas, was killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. Thousands of Israelis attended the funeral. The first major ground battle in two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting exacted a steep price, killing scores of Palestinians and more than a dozen Israeli soldiers and forcing thousands of terrified Palestinian civilians to flee their devastated Shijaiyah neighbourhood, which Israel says is a major source for rocket fire against its civilians.
