Sweets and tears in Gaza at Eid

This year, many of the freshest memorials in Gaza are to those killed by their neighbors during the bloodshed in June.

One woman whose son died fighting Israeli troops in 2000 said his death had made her proud -- unlike that of another relative who had died during the June battles: "I am happy my son was killed by the Jews and not by Palestinians.

"How could a Muslim kill a Muslim? How could a brother kill his brother?" she asked. "It is against our religion."

Nayef Kali mourned his daughter, a mother of six, who was also caught up in the clashes: "I am sad she was killed by Arab arms, arms that should be aimed at the Jews, not each other.

"I hope my daughter's blood is the last to be shed."
