A Palestinian man has been shot dead by Israeli soldiers close to the Gaza border, say Palestinian officials.
It is the first reported killing since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel came into force on Wednesday evening.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed only that it had fired "warning shots" after seeing a group walking towards the border fence.
Earlier, Israel said it had arrested several people over a bus bomb in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.
The blast, which injured 29 people, came just hours before the ceasefire began and was the first such attack in Tel Aviv for more than six years.
The shooting on Friday, east of Khan Younis, left another 10 people injured, said the health ministry in Gaza.
Eyewitnesses said the group were farmers but the Israelis said they had been marching towards the border as if staging a protest.
The IDF said it was investigating the incident, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Israel launched an offensive against Gaza, which it says was aimed at ending rocket fire from Gaza, with the killing of a Hamas military leader last week.
The truce ended eight days of Israeli attacks on Gaza from the air and the sea - and militant rocket attacks.
Provisional UN figures say that 158 people were killed in the Gaza Strip during the violence.
Four Israeli civilians and two soldiers were killed - the second of the military casualties died of his wounds on Thursday.
Under the truce deal, Israel has agreed to end all hostilities and targeted killings of militants, while all Palestinian factions will have to stop firing rockets into Israel and staging border attacks.
The Hamas Prime Minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniya, has urged Gazans to respect the truce.
The BBC's Jon Donnison in Gaza says shootings around the border happen fairly often and do not always lead to an escalation of violence.
But given the current tensions, the response to Friday's incident is less certain, our correspondent adds.
Israeli military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich said the Israeli bus bomb suspect was "an Arab-Israeli from Taybe and a member of Hamas".
In a statement, Israel's security agency Shin Bet said the arrests had happened "a few hours after the attack", AFP news agency reported.
Officials said that a number of Palestinians affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the West Bank were also arrested, suspected of having recruited the man to carry out the bombing.
