Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks during a press conference at his official residence in Tokyo Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Japan took a step away Tuesday from an American-drafted constitution that has long kept its military shackled, approving a plan to allow greater use of a force that was vanquished at the end of World War II.

Palestinians they gather around the body of local commander of Hamas's military Rabieh Barikeh, one of the four Hamas militants killed overnight in a firefight with Israeli troops, during his funeral on November 1, 2013 in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. Barikeh were killed by tank fire, Palestinian officials said, while the Israeli army said five of its soldiers were wounded by an explosive device. The Israeli military said the fighting erupted when an explosive device went off as troops were clearing a tunnel from the Gaza Strip into Israel, allegedly to be used as a springboard for militant attacks.
