But people here say the race highlights aspirations for Palestinian unity.
Anas Baba, NPR News, Gaza City.
Palestinians gathered to bury Azzam al-Hayya.
He is the 31-year-old son of Hamas's interim political leader Khalil al-Hayya, who himself survived a failed Israeli assassination attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar last summer.
He has now had four children killed in this war.
Al-Hayya told Al Jazeera, the killing of his son Wednesday night in Gaza City was a direct political message.
Separately, family members mourned the father and son killed Wednesday in an Israeli drone strike as they were digging a hole to use it as a toilet for the displaced family.
Also, 10 police officers were killed this week in Gaza, including the officer leading a campaign against drug dealers and local militias backed by Israel.
