returning now to the conflict in gaza and a three-day cease-fire has ended and bombings have begun again. palestinian authorities say at least five people were killed in israeli air strikes on friday. that puts the death toll in gaza under 1900. >> israel said a soldier was wounded in rockets fired into territory friday by gaza. overall, israeli officials say 64 troops and three civilians have perished in the conflict so far. it is a devastating situation, families on both sides of the border are burying loved ones whose lives have been cut short. >> karl penhaul spoke to the parents of a hamas fighter killed in battle two weeks ago. they are proud of their son's

actions but grieving as any parent would. >> reporter: mumbled prayers, met with drones, cement block for a tombstone, sandy hole for a grave. final resting place for a gaza gunman. >> translator: i am proud to have a son that was fought with resistance. we, too, we dough not want fighting with war but this is about defending justice. >> reporter: his 25-year-old son was a fighter in the al qassam brigades. his parents say his comrades were blown up by a helicopter as

he battled july 20th. >> translator: my last words to him were may god be kind to you and make it easy. good-bye with all my heart. may you be an inferno for your enemy. >> reporter: his mother said she even offered to carry his sons weapons to the front line so he could move undetected by israeli drones. he refused. his father tells me how this son was good at history, great at swimming. >> translator: no matter how much i describe, i cannot do him justice. he was a blessing to me. he combined the best qualities of a man, honest, nice, chivleous and generous. how did he end up with a ka lash that could have in his hand. props because his father kept

telling him tales of life on the run. from the home in 1958 with the outbreak in 1967. >> translator: all the lives of palestinian people are a tragedy. it is not just one tragedy, but so many tradition disand catastrophes and wars. the european union, israel and the u.s. list hamas as a terrorist organization. yet, in gaza, militants are revered as heroes on billboards and in street art. gaza is densely built up. and hamas made the tactical choice to wage an urban guerilla-style war from the population. israel offered cameras like these as evidence how hamas and other factions are using civilians as human shields and digging in around homes and

schools. and this war could suck in the next generation, too. but he believes they may still be talking rumor. before the first entinterfatah he -- >> translator: we as palestinians and they as jewish people understand each other and understand the truth. but the israeli leadership, they do not want what is good for their people. >> reporter: his wife has a message for israeli mothers. no reconciliation, but recognition, they share a bond. >> translator: they are like us. they raise their sons, and just like their sons are valuable to them, our sons are valuable to us. just like they are mothers. we are mothers, too.

just like they feel, we feel, too. >> reporter: and as a mother and father whisper good-byes to their childhood militant, someone else's son headed to an early grave. karl penhaul, cnn, gaza. >> and on the israeli side, a similar picture, young people taking to get front line and their innocence lost. >> atika shubert spoke to the parents of an idf soldier kid last month, here's what they had to say. >> reporter: hundreds attended the funeral of sergeant ben itzhak. as his coffin arrived, chorus of wails and sobbing. but when i meet his parents, they don't cry. they show me bar mitzvah pictures. they tell me he was determined to joint gallanty brigade

israel's hardened infilltry elite unit and they showed me this photo weeks before an ambush in gaza. i asked if they were scared before he went in. his father is adamant. but his mother fights back tears. she says, he told us don't be afraid. he knew what he was going there for, and he made that choice. he said there is no reason for people to run when they appear sirens. this has to end now. theirs is a proud military family. their son's commanding officer watches over them as they talk. but it's a devout family. the jewish people are a immoral people, he says, the people on the other side, they are the ones without morals. they received mourners at their home in a small beach town a short drive from gaza.

members of their son's unit come to offer their condolences. as do the local rabbis. i asked both parents if they could ever imagine the possibility of peace, a day they might even talk with the family of a fighter in gaza. but elan is quick to interrupt, peace? who are you going to make peace with, hamas? we gave gaza back to them ten years ago, who sits there now. not good people. not palestinians he says. the family is prepared for a long battle ahead. i have a girl and two more boys sarit says top. and the boys will follow their brother. they will go into battle and fight just like their brother. >> reporter: strong words, but still a mother's grief. her son's final steps in gaza are those perhaps she hopes her

other children will not have to follow. atika shubert, cnn. let's get you caught up now on the other top story. and the u.s. is using fighter jets and unmanned drones to try to stop the momentum of isis militants in iraq. >> u.s. laser-guided bombs are said to have targeted isis fighters along with mortar positions there. >> american military also dropping aid to isis. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says washington is concerned about the potential for genocide. >> isil's campaign of terror against the incident including the yazidi and christian minorities and the grotesque target of violence show all the

warning signs of genocide. for anyone who needed a wake-up call, this is it. >> with more on the humanitarian situation on the ground, we are joined by marzia babil. he's the u.n. representative in iraq. thank you for joining us, sir. the first question i want to talk about is security there at the compound there in erbil. is there a plan in place should the crisis reach the city and the compound? >> the security posture of the united states signed and supervised by the special representative to the secretary-general is the same. as i said, probably yesterday, the united nation, continuing delivering goods, supplies and commodities in areas where important numbers of displaced people continue to live -- to

arrive, particularly in the northern part of the province in the western part of the kurdish camp. and at the same time, there is an increasing particularly in this province, there are threats, there is a higher security vigilance and alert. but the humanitarian to deliver for these people is maintain >> but also in the compound itself, we understand that there may be some syrian refugees there. is that the case, given that they are leaving a very bad situation already, now they find themselves in this? >> the province, during august 2013 there had been an influx of more than 70,000 syrian refugees so the number of people to assist in that province only is

approximately 300,000. so obviously, refugee people and in particular logistics in the area are opportunities for the government of cukurdistan and ao humanitarian agencies to act. it's ongoing and we are preparing particularly all that is needed to assist and rescue those. >> the yazidi people trapped on that mountain. obviously, if they leave, they will be threatened with death. the question for you is, what is the long-term plan here? and is there any way out for these people presently? >> reporter: there are two things happening on the ground. and actually there have been several changes, positive changing in a way, the first one are the air drops.

and the air drops of water and food in particular that have been more precise starting people who received these goods. we have first hand information that people received these goods. these are important. the second, indispensable is also to take men, women and children out of there. it's imperative we truly home as the community in the united nations this is a stoppage and allows us to almost immediately drive in supplies and medical care for those in need. without these two imperative actions together, probably the future is particularly grim. the third and final point is where the yazidis community would be relocated in the near future. and in our opportunity of discussion with the government, we're exploring two options.

one obviously helping them as soon as possible in their own areas should their areas clear from presence of isis. and secondly on safe havens already in the ba hook province where it's intense. >> marzio babille. we appreciate that. changing gears now. all that's left in the oscar pistorius trial, the verdict. >> coming up what the olympian tweeted after closing arguments wrapped up in south africa. plus, heavy fighting in eastern ukraine as government forces froze on the rebel stronghold of donetsk. ♪

♪here i am. rock you like a hurricane♪ fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle.

the verdict in the oscar pistorius trial will be announced on september 11th. >> closing arguments finished up friday in pretoria, south africa. pistorius went to twitter after court saying this, quote, thank you to my loved ones and those who have been there for me. who have picked me up and helped me through everything, end quote. the olympian is charged with the premeditated murder of girlfriend reeva steenkamp. he admitted to killing her on valentine's day last year but says he mistook her for an intruder. if found guilty, pistorius could

face up to live in prison. violence is flaring in eastern ukraine as government forces and pro-russian separatists battle for control of territory. this video reportedly shows rocketing hits residential buildings in the rebel stronghold of donetsk. it's not clear who fired the missiles but they were reportedly shot from the direction of separatist-held areas. now cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video. switching now to weather, typhoon halong, it is set to make landfall in japan bringing strong winds and rains. >> for more on its track, meteorologist ivan cabrera is standing by in the weather center. >> yeah, i just got the update from halong. the latest advisory and work back and check 0 in on iselle. 130 kilometers powerful winds halong impacting with japan in incredible ways as far as the

rainfall here. already dumping half a meter of water from the storm. remember, we had a meter from the last one and it just keeps going here. looks like some of the prefectures in the southern part of japan going to get hit hard. already that is happening at least in the next 24 hours heavier rainfall to come. and that is not going to bode well for some of these areas here. 130 additional millimeters. that's going to be a problem in kochi with very heavy rain. here's post tropical iselle. we country find it here, you have to go to the visible to be able to see what the center of circulation is. it's right here, it's lost thunderstorms, it's completely exposed down to iselle did dump heavy rainfall over the big island of hawaii. also it's a historic storm

because no other storm made landfall but it was a hurricane that did cause significant damage to somer as, 169 millimeters of rainfall. then julio, 160 kilometer powerful winds also see the clouds coming from the west-east there, that's what inhibited its l a iselle and will take its toll. twin hurricanes is not going to make it through history here. excellent news for hawaii. they are going to be by passed by hurricane julio. hopefully, we'll take a break here in the pacific because it has been a busy time in both the eastern and western half. >> boy, do they need a break. >> indeed. >> i'm sure there's a lot of stand-up paddlers who are bummed but they're going have to wait it out. still to come on cnn, as isis threatens territories it seems the large bank account is

healthy now. >> next, a look at how this brutal group is funded. no problem. you want to save money on rv insurance? no problem. you want to save money on motorcycle insurance? no problem. you want to find a place to park all these things? fuggedaboud it. this is new york. hey little guy, wake up! aw, come off it mate! geico. saving people money on more than just car insurance.

we continue our coverage in iraq. american military aircraft are dropping food and water to civilians in the northern part of that country. >> thousands of them are stranded trying to escape the dangerous militant group isis. in the mean type, the u.s. military is using fighter jets and unmanned drones to try to

stop the momentum of those advancing isis fighters. >> the thing people don't know about isis is that it has been labeled as one of the world's richest terrorist groups. >> yeah. it's very interesting, its funds come from a variety of sources and randi kaye digs deeper into where that money comes from. >> reporter: in mosul, iraq's second largest city, isis strong gold. literally. they robbed that city's central bank, taking a large amount of gold and an estimated $430 million. a smash-and-grab like that, some experts predict, could make them the richest terror organization in the world. the council on foreign relations reports most of isis' financing comes from smuggling, extortion and other crime ares. isis is eating cashing in on oil. selling crude from oil fields they took control of in northern syria, right back to the syrian

government. "the new york times" reports isis is also selling electricity from captured power plants back to the government, too. >> they also do -- a lot of the traditional terrorist fundraising activities, kidnappings, robbing, thieving, they're involved in the drug trade. they have money laundering schemes. >> reporter: in "daily beast" josh rogan reports that isis has been funded for years by wealthy private donors living in countries the u.s. considers allies, countries like kuwait, qatar and saudi arabia. and that those governments, says rogan, know it's happening but choose to look away. >> the governments could have some plausible liability and say they're not funding them directly. at the very least, they're looking the other way. >> reporter: now back to the numbers. if you do the math, isis may be worth at least $500 million after that last attack on that bank in mosul. in 2011, the taliban is said to be worth an estimated $70 million to $400 million.

even al qaeda can't compete. al qaeda had an operating budget of about $30 million a year before the 9/11 attacks. and all of this cash on hand only allows isis to attract more extremist fighters who are drawn to higher salaries. big money also helps isis finance large-scale prisonliber fighters. >> isis is a group that can't be negotiated with. the more they have, the more zbraesive they're going to be. >> reporter: elevating around the east and potentially around the globe. randi kaye, cnn, new york. all right. that does it for us and our special coverage on cnn. i'm amara walker. >> and i'm george howell. thanks for watching. the news continues on cnn with "new day" after this short break. to just losing their balance. and not being able to get up from a fall can have
