A Hamas official said Israel had ruptured the truce alleging it was in order to assassinate Deif, but that only civilians were killed at the site of the attack.
Palestinian health officials said three people were killed in a strike on a house in Gaza City, including a child and a woman. The third victim was not identified. Israeli media said Israel had been targeting another leading Hamas militant in charge of rocket fire, but did not know whether or not he had survived the attack.http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Israel-accused-of-trying-to-assassinate-Hamas-military-wing-chief-Deif-371595
