According to hospital reports, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack in the southern Gaza Strip. A further 15 people were injured in an attack on a police checkpoint in the area of the city of Chan Junis, according to Nasser Hospital. The police forces in the Gaza Strip are controlled by the Islamist Hamas. A spokesman for the Israeli army said that the reports of the attack were being investigated.
Officially, a ceasefire has been in place in the Gaza Strip since October last year. Nevertheless, Israeli attacks and armed incidents continue to occur.
