At least four people, including children, have been injured in an Israeli tank fire in central Gaza, Israeli and Palestinian sources said.
Witnesses said the Israeli army fired at least three rounds at an area east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, wounding several Palestinians.
Hamas officials said Israeli forces fired in the direction of a home after darkness fell on Thursday.
Medical workers said four people including a woman and two children had been taken to a hospital with slight injuries.
The Israeli military confirmed the incident, saying it targeted fighters "identified as planting an explosive near a border security fence" and that "uninvolved civilians were apparently injured in this incident".
Thursday's incident comes just days after rival governments Hamas and Fatah agreed to end their dispute. Israel rejected the Palestinian unity deal saying it could derail the peace process.
The attack shattered a shaky truce achieved after a spate of cross-border violence earlier this month.
Nineteen Palestinians in Gaza were killed this month in Israeli strikes.
