A Palestinian civilian has been shot dead by 'Israeli' troops near the border wall between the Gaza Strip and Occupied Palestine.
Hassan Abed, 60, was farming his land on Thursday in al-Qarara when he was shot, according to medics and witnesses.
The 'Israeli' military said it was examining reports of the incident.
'Israeli' troops often shoot at Palestinians close to the border fence as fighters have previously tried to plant explosives there or cross into Occupied Palestine unnoticed.
The death came as two members of Hamas died in an explosion south of Gaza City.
'Israeli' forces also arrested five members of the al-Quds Brigades and the Popular Resistance Committee in the West Bank town of Qabatiya, south of the city of Jenin, after about 30 'Israeli' military vehicles stormed the town at dawn on Thursday.
Since 'Israel' and the Palestinians resumed peace talks in late November, at least 356 people have been killed in violence, according to an AFP tally.
In all, 6,319 people have been killed since the start of the second Palestinian uprising in September 2000, the vast majority of them Palestinians, according to a separate AFP count.
