Iraqis flee militants as US warplanes strike

FILE - In this file photo taken Monday, July 21, 2014, Palestinians pray over Hamas flag-draped bodies of 17 members of the Abu Jamea immediate and extended family, killed by an Israeli strike at their house, during their funeral at the main mosque in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. In the grisly math of the Israel-Hamas war, conflicting counts of combatants and civilians killed in Gaza are emerging - with the ratio perhaps more important to shaping international opinion of the monthlong conflict than any final toll. U.N. researchers and local rights groups say three-fourth of some 1,900 dead were civilians, while the Israeli military estimates the split is closer to 50-50. Those doing the tallies use different methods and standards to make that all important determination of who is a civilian. (AP Photo/Hatem Ali, File)
