GAZA, June 5 (Reuters) - A young Palestinian girl was killed by an Israeli shell in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Thursday, medical workers said.

The army confirmed it carried out an air strike targeting a militant near Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The attack, which medics said also injured two women, came after Palestinian militants shelled an Israeli kibbutz, killing one person and wounding three others. (Jerusalem newsroom)
