Exchanges of fire have killed nine Palestinian children in a Gaza - TopicsExpress

Exchanges of fire have killed nine Palestinian children in a Gaza refugee camp and four people in Israel, shattering hopes for an end to three weeks of devastating violence. The missile that hit a playground in the UN refugee camp reportedly also killed at least two other people and wounded another 46, many of them also children. Palestinian medical sources blamed the deaths on the Israeli military, while the Israeli military categorically denied any attack, and said Hamas had aimed the rockets at Israel but that they misfired and hit the camp.
