Israeli artillery 2 shells slammed into a Gaza beach and scored a direct hit on a Palestinian family at a picnic.
Palestinian officials say three children were among the dead, including twins.
Israeli canons and gunboats have been shelling areas used by Palestinian militants 4 who have been firing rockets at Israel for weeks. The army says some shells apparently 5 went astray.
"We have no intention of harming innocent civilians and we are very sorry about it," Galant told Israel Television. "But at the same time," he said, "we have a duty to defend the citizens of Israel from rocket attacks," said General Yoav Galant, head of Israel's Southern Command.

The incident is further escalating 6 tensions after Israel assassinated 7 a top Palestinian security chief appointed by the new government of the Islamic militant 3 group Hamas. Jamal Abu Samhadana and three other militants were killed in an Israeli air strike that Hamas described as a direct attack on the Palestinian Authority.
"The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves," said Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. The Hamas military wing went a step further, vowing 8 to resume suicide bombings in Israeli cities. If that happens, it would mean an end to the truce declared by Hamas 16 months ago, and a new round of bloodshed
