Witnesses told Ma’an that up to 10 shells were fired from the direction of Israeli crossing Nahal Oz to the east of the city throughout the morning.
Medics said three people were transferred to Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
An Israeli army statement said soldiers fired towards “a terrorist squad planting two explosive devices adjacent to the security fence… confirming a hit.”
An Egyptian-brokered truce between Gaza factions and Israeli forces was declared “broken” by Islamic Jihad on Sunday after a 26-year-old member of its armed wing was killed by Israeli forces late Saturday.
The Oct. 30 truce came after Israeli strikes killed 12 people in the Gaza Strip in two days, and Gaza militants fired a volley of rockets and mortars into southern Israel, killing one Israeli in Ashkelon, in the worst flareup on the border in several months.
