A four-year-old boy has been killed in a mortar attack near the border with the Gaza Strip, Israeli rescue officials say.

The attack occurred early this evening in a southern Israeli village along the frontier.

Eli Bin, head of Israel’s national rescue service, confirmed the death in TV interviews.

It is the first Israeli death since a new round of fighting erupted between Israel and Hamas on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Hamas gunmen in Gaza have killed 18 Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel in front of worshippers at a mosque.
