Israel air strike kills 7 in southern Gaza

An Israeli air strike on the southern Gaza Strip killed seven people early Saturday, medics said, on day 12 of a major operation against the Palestinian territory.
The strike hit a group of people outside a mosque in the southern city of Khan Yunis, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP, adding that three of the dead were from the same family.
One woman was among those killed, Qudra said.
The deaths took the toll from an Israeli operation to stamp out rocket fire from Gaza to 303, many of them women and children.
One Israeli civilian and one Israeli soldier have been killed since the campaign started on July 8.
