GAZA, July 2 (Reuters) - An Israeli tank shell fired into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip killed a Palestinian girl on Thursday, Palestinian hospital workers said.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was looking into the report.

The hospital workers said the girl was killed near al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The Israeli-Gaza border has remained relatively calm since Israel ended a three-week incursion into the coastal territory in January. (Reporting by Saleh Salem; Editing by Richard Meares)
