Tragedies never stop in Gaza under Israeli fire. On Saturday, an Israeli air strike killed a Palestinian groom just hours before he was due to celebrate his wedding in Khan Yunis, turning a day of anticipation and joy into a funeral.

His wedding suit remained unworn, while relatives preparing for the celebration found themselves gathering to mourn him instead.
