JERUSALEM (AP) -- An Israeli missile aimed at a group of militants struck a house and killed a 6-year-old Palestinian girl Thursday, Palestinian officials said, hours after an Israeli was killed by a Hamas mortar barrage fired from the area.
The sudden spike in violence dealt a new setback to Egyptian efforts to mediate a truce between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers, and raised the likelihood of a tough Israeli military reprisal.
The Israeli army confirmed the aerial attack and said it had hit a ''gunman.''
But Hamas security officials said the missile missed a group of militants and struck a nearby house. The Palestinian girl, who was playing outside, was killed and her mother was wounded, said Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The airstrike came shortly after Gaza's Hamas rulers claimed responsibility for the deadly mortar attack in southern Israel. The mortar shells were fired from the same area targeted in the airstrike, the army said.
