A member of the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip drowned on Saturday.
According to Army Radio, the Palestinian was a 23-year-old from the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
Pictures said to be from the funeral were posted on Twitter.
Although no details of how the man drowned were given, the terror group has a naval commando unit, which it has sought to further develop since deploying it in the 2014 Gaza war.
In April, the Defense Ministry said it thwarted an attempt by Hamas to smuggle into Gaza wet suits for its naval commando unit.
