ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Palestinians accused Israel of breaking its own ceasefire on Monday (August 4) by launching a bomb attack on a refugee camp in Gaza City that killed an eight-year-old girl and wounded 29 other people.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was checking the report.
Wounded residents, some still caked in debris, were wheeled into the Al Shifa hospital.
Among the wounded from the attack were several children..
Israel had announced a seven-hour ceasefire to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and allow some of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by an almost four-week-old war to go home.
The announcement was met with suspicion from Gaza's dominant Hamas Islamists and followed an unusually strong censure from Washington at the apparent Israeli shelling on Sunday of a U.N.-run shelter that killed 10 people.
An Israeli defence official said the ceasefire, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (0700 to 1400 GMT
