A pregnant Palestinian woman and one-year-old baby killed in Gaza died not from Israeli retaliatory air strikes, but from rockets misfired by jihadi terrorists, the Israeli military says.

The Independent cited Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, a spokesman for the Israeli army, as saying the country’s intelligence services found the pregnant woman and baby had been killed by “Hamas fire.”
