A four-year-old girl has been killed and her mother wounded in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip.
 
Another woman was also wounded in the attack which the Israelis said had targeted Palestinian armed groups.
The attack came after Palestinian fighters shelled an Israeli kibbutz (collective village), killing one person and injuring three others.
 
The girl and her mother were outside their house near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza when a drone fired a missile, witnesses said.
The Khan Yunis hospital identified the girl as Aya Al-Manjar and said her mother was critically wounded.
 
An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the attack, saying: "The air force conducted a raid and fired at Palestinian gunmen."
 
She said the attack targeted the area from which armed Palestinians  earlier fired rockets that slammed into a kibbutz in southern Israel, killing one person and wounding four.
