Israeli soldiers have killed three Palestinians along the Gaza-Israeli border near Beit Lahiya, Palestinian medics have said.
Gaza's ministry of health said on Thursday that the men killed overnight were fishermen who were working with their nets on the shore.
The Israeli army also said in a statement that the men were "militants" plotting to plant explosives.
"Overnight, an IDF force identified a number of Palestinian militants approaching the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip, in an attempt to plant explosive devices.
"Thwarting the attempt, the force fired at the militants, hitting three of them," the statement said. Residents said they had heard gunfire in the area.
