In Gaza, a funeral became a second catastrophe — mourners gathered to bury a victim of an Israeli strike were themselves struck, folding grief and death into a single moment. This is not an aberration but a pattern: the rituals of loss have become sites of danger in a conflict that does not pause for the living to mourn the dead. The cycle — strike, funeral, strike — compresses the human cost into a sequence that defies ordinary accounting, and raises questions that military logic alone cannot answer.
