A blast in a Gaza Strip refugee camp killed four Palestinian children as they walked to school today.
A Palestinian security official says one of the kids kicked an unexploded Israeli tank shell, setting it off.
But Israeli officials say it might have been Palestinian
explosives.
Both sides are also connecting the incident to a new U-S effort to
