Hundreds of people attended the funeral of journalist Hussam Shabat AFP An Israeli air strike on Gaza killed a journalist working with Al Jazeera, according to the network and Gaza's civil defence rescue agency, seven days into renewed Israeli bombardment and ground operations in the Palestinian territory. Israel resumed intense air strikes across the densely populated Gaza Strip last Tuesday, with ground troops following, after talks on extending a ceasefire with Hamas Palestinian militants reached an impasse. Civil defence said Hussam Shabat, who was working with the Qatari news channel, was targeted in an Israeli drone strike on his car on Monday afternoon near a petrol station in the northern town of Beit Lahia.
