Woman And Two-Year-Old Killed In Gaza Airstrike

An Israeli airstrike has killed a child, Palestinian medics claim, in the first fatality since the breakdown of the current truce.

The two-year-old died when a house was struck in Gaza City, said Ashraf al Kidra, a spokesman for the local emergency services.

A 40-year-old woman and a third unidentified person were also killed in the blast, which came after Israel announced it had resumed airstrikes on Gaza after three rockets fired by Palestinian militants landed in open areas near the city of Beersheba.

Two of the dead are believed to be the wife and daughter of Gaza's military chief Mohammed Deif.

In a strike on the southern Gaza town of Deir el-Balah a pregnant woman, three children and two men were killed, emergency services said.
