Four children among six dead in Israeli attack on Gaza

BEIT HANUN, Gaza Strip, April 28 (AFP):

Four Palestinian children, aged one to five, their mother and a man were killed in Israeli operations in Gaza on Monday as Palestinian factions prepared for talks in Egypt on a possible truce. Four siblings — aged one, three, four and five — were killed when a tank shell hit their home in the north Gaza town of Beit Hanun, and their mother died later of her wounds, doctors at the Kamal Radwan hospital said. Palestinian security officials said an Islamic Jihad fighter was killed in the same area.
