"A Palestinian baby girl whose mother was wounded in a botched Israel Air Force strike was stillborn on Friday, two days after the strike that killed two other civilians and wounded 14 in the Gaza Strip, medics said.

The death raised to 15 the number of Gaza civilians killed in recent IAF air attacks targeting militants involved in the firing of Qassam rockets at the western Negev."

"In the Gaza town of Khan Yunis, doctors at Nasser Hospital performed a Caesarean section on Shaima Ahmed, 25, after detecting signs of fetal distress, medics said. Ahmed was wounded by shrapnel in Wednesday's air strike.

The fetus, due to have been born in the coming days, was found dead, they said. The mother remains in intensive care along with two other children, relatives of the family, who were injured in the attack

Under Muslim tradition, the dead baby was named before she was buried after dark on Friday.

Soufian Ahmed, the father, said he had named her Majazara, using the Arabic word for "massacre." He told Reuters he had done so "to tell the world once again about the massacres Israel has committed against innocent Palestinians."
