"In Saturday's Gaza violence, Israeli aircraft killed a Hamas rocket maker in a missile strike on his minivan and ground forces blew up a weapons storehouse. Six Hamas gunmen were killed in separate incidents and a civilian died when his house, apparently weakened by the shock of explosions, collapsed on him, according to Palestinian reports.
"In another incident, a 12-year-old girl was shot in the head and killed by an Israeli sniper, Palestinian officials said. The Israeli military expressed regret, saying the sniper was aiming at an armed militant and hit the girl by mistake.
"Hamas gunmen attacked a building used by Israeli forces, detonating explosives and firing rockets, said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas militants. Witnesses said they saw two Israelis evacuated by helicopter.
"The deputy head of Beit Hanoun's town council, Tisyan Hamad, said the destruction in the latest sweep is worse than anything the town has suffered in past Israeli operations.
''There's no electricity ... the people have no water, no food, telephone lines are cut, the infrastructure is damaged,'' he said.
