The deaths in Lod come amid dozens of causalities in Gaza [SAID KHATIB/AFP/Getty-file photo]
A 16-year-old Palestinian girl was killed alongside her father, 52, near the Israeli city of Lod on Wednesday.
Their deaths were caused by rocket fire believed to have been fired by Gaza-based Hamas or other groups.
The BBC’s Arabic-language service reported that the rocket hit their car, while The Guardian reported they were killed when a missile hit their home's courtyard.

The Arabic-language outlet said the deaths occurred in Dahmash, a village close to Lod, the city which has been the centre of protests by Palestinian-Israeli protests against Israeli violence in Jerusalem.
The president of Dahmash's village committee said: "We lost my sister's husband and his late daughter Nadeen today.

"We say only that which pleases God, truly, we belong to Allah and, indeed, to Him we return."
The chief, Ismail, added that they had not received shelters from the regional council, which he claims "does not recognise us", despite asking for this.
They were instead told they would be "uprooted" from the area, he said.
He also confirmed that Nadeen’s mother, Sawsan, and two siblings were taken to the hospital, though they were largely unharmed.
