Officials at a Gaza hospital say a young Palestinian girl has been killed during air strikes by Israel. Palestinians were injured during attacks on Hamas training camps in Khan Younis and al-Bureij on Tuesday. The wounded include two of the dead girl’s brothers, according to the Gaza hospital. <br /><br />Tension has been rising since three suspected Palestinian attacks in the last few days – the killing of an Israeli civilian near the border on Tuesday, a bus bombing near Tel Aviv on Sunday and the stabbing of an Israeli policeman on Monday.<br /><br />The airstrikes came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised swift retaliation for Tuesday’s attack – the shooting of an Israeli man carrying out work on the security fence at the Gaza frontier. <br /><br />It is the first Israeli death in the area in more than a year and threatens to destabilise a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas who govern the Gaza Strip.
