GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli troops shot and killed a 7-year-old Palestinian girl on Friday after militants fired mortar rounds at a Gaza Strip settlement, injuring four Israelis, one of them a child, officials said.

Palestinian militants fired three mortars at the Neve Dekalim settlement - which is adjacent to the Khan Younis refugee camp - seriously wounding three Israelis, one of them a child, the army said. A fourth Israelis was lightly injured.

In response, soldiers fired at the refugee camp, where the mortars were apparently fired from, killing 7-year-old Rana Siyam, Palestinian security sources said.

The army had no immediate comment.
