GAZA, May 1 (Reuters) - An Israeli missile attack on Thursday wounded a local Hamas commander in a Palestinian refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, the Islamist group and medical workers said.

The attack on Yasser Mansour, as he was walking through Rafah refugee camp near the Hamas-controlled territory's border with Egypt, coincided with Egyptian efforts to broker a ceasefire between Palestinian militants and Israel.

Medical workers said Mansour was critically wounded. The Israeli army had no immediate information on the incident. (Reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi; Writing by Brenda Gazzar, Editing by Sami Aboudi)
