Yahya Eid mourns over the body of his 10-year-old nephew, Shabaan, during his funeral at the Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, Gaza, on Wednesday, October 29. Shabaan was killed in an Israeli strike on the Bureij refugee camp. Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 104 people on Tuesday, the enclave’s health authorities said, marking the deadliest day since the beginning of a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. The strikes came after Israel accused Hamas of killing a soldier and staging the discovery of a deceased hostage. Hamas denounced what it called the “criminal bombardment” by Israel, which it said violated the ceasefire agreement. It also denied attacking Israeli soldiers and reaffirmed its commitment to the truce. Abdel Kareem Hana/AP
