A pregnant Palestinian mother and her toddler daughter were killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza today (October 11, 2015), as violence between Israelis and Palestinians threatened to spiral out of control, according to the France 24 website.
Nur Hassan, 30, and her daughter Rahaf Hassan, 2, were killed when their house in the northern Gaza Strip sector of Zeitun was demolished by the Israeli attack, with three others still trapped under the ruins.
Israel said it targeted "two Hamas weapon manufacturing facilities" in response to two rocket launches at Israel yesterday, as well as a number of attempts by Palestinians to violently break into Israel from Gaza.
One of the rockets had hit an open field in southern Israel and the other was intercepted, while nine Palestinians were killed during the border clashes with Israeli soldiers.
