Gaza City - An explosion injured five Palestinian children in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday, a hospital said, blaming Israeli tank fire.

The children - aged 4 to 10 and from the same family - were in light to moderate condition after being hit by a shell fired by an Israeli tank east of Deir al-Balah, according to the al-Quds hospital in the town.

Witnesses said, however, that there were no Israeli tanks in the area at the time and that the explosion might have been caused by an old bomb.

An Israeli army spokesperson said she was not familiar with the incident.

The Israeli military maintains an exclusion zone just inside the Gaza border that it has declared off-limits to Palestinians, and troops frequently carry out military activity in the area.

Donovan-Ryan Neethling says... @Revelgen, I'd like to point out 2 things for you. firstly N Korea is incorrectly called a communist state. They are in fact closer to being a monarchy or a dictatorship, there are only 4 true communist states left (China, Cuba, Vtam and Laos) but thats all just semantics anyway. MORE importantly is your statement that communism leads to starvation. I dont know whre yu go that from, but I am currently in Vietnam, have been for some time, and let me tell you the average Vietnamese has far better access to food and even medical care than does the average South African. Vietnam has other Socialist problems such as Media censorship and mistreatment of cultural minorities (not to mention their rhino horn addicition, but you cant label all Communists with the same brush.
