GAZA, June 10 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed at
least three members of a Palestinian mortar crew on Tuesday in
the Gaza Strip, the Hamas group said.
 

The attack in the Hamas-controlled territory followed the
firing of more than a dozen mortar bombs at southern Israel.
 

An Israeli military spokeswoman said she had no immediate
information on the air strike. An official in Hamas's armed wing
said three members of a mortar crew were killed and two others
wounded.
 

Egypt has been trying to broker a truce to end violence on
the Israel-Gaza border. Israel's cabinet, at its weekly meeting
on Tuesday, was expected to discuss ceasefire prospects and
possible broader military action should Egypt's efforts fail.
