ten-year-old Palestinian girl was killed Saturday when an explosion ripped through her home in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, hospital officials said.
Residents said Ibtihal Abu Daher was killed when a Palestinian rocket inadvertently hit her house. Her 11-year old brother Ihab was also wounded in the explosion.
The Israel Defense Forces said there were no troops in the area at the time. Militants often fire homemade Qassam rockets and mortar shells from the camp into southern Israel.
A mortar shell which militants fired Saturday evening landed in Palestinian territory in the northern West Bank.
In response to three Qassam rockets that landed in the western Negev town of Sderot, the IDF redeployed troops late Friday near the northern Gaza Strip site of the rocket launchings.
The IDF has said it may renew operations in the area over the weekend, after sporadic fighting had continued throughout the week in Gaza as the army launched raids aimed at halting the rocket fire on southern Israeli towns.
An additional Qassam rocket landed in the western Negev on Saturday, Israel Radio reported. No injuries or damages resulted from the incident.
Militants fired a mortar shell Friday night, which landed in an open field near an military base in the northern Gaza Strip. No casualties or damage were caused.
Four mortar shells were also fired at the Gush Katif settlement bloc in southern Gaza, according to Israel Radio. No injuries or damage was reported.
Palestinians also shot at an IDF outpost in southern Gaza on Friday night, again causing no casualties or damage.

WHat a shame, one less possible suicide bomber left in the world
She would have ended up blowing herself to hell as a suicide bomber, or would have been executed in a muslim soccer stadium as a half-time show.
Happy New Year, knighthawk.
Headlines? They won't cover this... there will be no headlines.
"Residents said Ibtihal Abu Daher was killed when a Palestinian rocket inadvertently hit her house."
later that day, on the Palestinian Arab News Service:
"the Zionist entity created another martyr, a ten year old Arab girl, who died because of the Occupation."

The so-called palestinians still haven't decided to love their children more than they hate the Jews.
It was Bush's fault.
Nits make lice.
bttt
Where's all the bloody pictures of palestinian terrorists running around with their hands dipped in the blood of innocents??
I forgot - these children were killed by palestinian terrorist, not by the Israelis defending themselves from the terrorists.
Happy New Year too!
Who set the explosion and WHY?
Have been watching TV and the reactions to the tsunami disaster. The seeds of world peace should be sown there. We are all so fragile and need each other.
Thought today that the world is getting a good look at what real "refugee camps" are like. Hope it makes a difference.
