Palestinian medical officials say two Palestinian children were killed in an explosion in the Gaza Strip that may have been caused by an Israeli tank shell.
The medical officials say the children, who were cousins aged 10 and 12, died in the explosion Wednesday in the northern Gaza Strip. The officials say a young female cousin was critically injured.
The Israeli military said it fired at rocket launchers in the area.
