imageGAZA CITY: An Israeli air strike killed a 10-year-old child in Gaza City on Friday, the first death reported since a 72-hour truce expired at 0500 GMT, Palestinian medics said.

"A 10-year-old was killed in an Israeli air strike on a mosque in Sheikh Radwan," a northern Gaza City neighbourhood, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP.

Qudra noted that another six people, one of them a woman, were wounded in the same attack.

Israel announced earlier it had targeted "terror sites" in the Gaza Strip in response to a barrage of Palestinian rockets fired towards its territory shortly after the ceasefire ended.
