One Palestinian has been killed and 10 teenagers wounded as Israeli soldiers open fire.
One adult has been killed and 10 teenagers wounded as Israeli soldiers, stationed at the border line between Khan Younis and Israel, opened fire on them, medical sources say.
Witnesses told Al Jazeera that the teenagers entered the disputed area of the "buffer zone", which is 300m along all the Gaza-Israel border, south east of the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reporting from Gaza City said they had received reports that a number of farmers entered Khan Younis in the buffer zone, which ordinarily is a no-go zone for Palestinians, to check on their crops. She said they may have also wanted to pray.
Johnston said they may have had confused information about that buffer zone as there has been lots of information about the easing of travel restrictions as part of the ceasefire agreement.
They may have thought that they can travel there now, she said.
The farmers entered the buffer zone and these teenagers reportedly entered with them when the Israeli soldiers opened fire on them, said our correspondent.
The Palestinian emergency service identified the dead man as 21-year-old Abdelhadi Qdeih Anwar. They said he was killed in the southern Gaza Strip village of Khuzaa.
Qdeih Anwar was hit in the head by the Israeli gunfire, Reuters news agency reported medics as saying.
A relative of the dead man, who was at the scene, told Reuters that Qdeih Anwar had been trying to place a Hamas flag on the fence.
He said that an Israeli soldier had fired into the air three times before Qdeih was hit in the head by a bullet.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "We will contact the Egyptian mediator to discuss the incident."

This is the second person to be killed since the truce came into effect. Nader Abumaghasib, a 15-year-old boy was killed after going out, about 40 minutes after the ceasefire, brokered on Wednesday night, was announced.
"The occupation forces opened fire on a group of farmers," Gaza emergency service spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya said.
Johnston said that there had been a problem in this area for the past two days. The Israeli army is able to shoot at people in the buffer zone without entering the area, she said.
The fatality marks the first casualty since Gaza and Israel agreed on a truce ending their week-long conflict, Palestinian medical sources said.
An Israeli army spokeswoman could not confirm the incident, saying only that "disturbances" had broken out on the Palestinian side of the Gaza border early on Friday, prompting Israeli soldiers to fire warning shots.
There was no immediate reaction from the Gaza Strip's Hamas leadership, which has previously urged Palestinians to respect the ceasefire terms.
Seperately, Islamic Jihad, who worked closely with Hamas to broker the ceasefire, was also holding a rally on Friday.
Wednesday's ceasefire deal ended eight days of fierce fighting that left 163 Palestinians and six Israelis dead.
According to the terms of the accord, both Israelis and Palestinians agreed to stop their hostilities. However, the
brief document said details on access to the tense border zone would be worked out in the days ahead.

The details of this agreement had still not been worked out, and that a stop to the incursions was clearly not yet in effect, said our correspondent.
She said that this would send a message to Palestinians that this was still a no-go area.
