Israeli attacks kill five in Gaza, including two children, medics say

 Israeli air strikes and gunfire in the Gaza Strip on Monday killed at least five Palestinians, including two children, according to health officials.

Medics and relatives said a 10-year-old girl was shot dead while inside her family's tent in the southern city of Khan Younis.

A four-year-old boy was meanwhile killed in an air strike in Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli military said it was not aware of the incident in Khan Younis, but that it had issued an evacuation order in Bureij before carrying out a strike on what it described as a Hamas weapons storage facility.

At least 1,296 Palestinians, including 300 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect last October, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

The Israeli military says four of its soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks in Gaza over the same period.
