4 Palestinians killed, 15 injured in shelling near Rafah

Gaza officials say at least four Palestinians have been killed by Israeli tank fire nearly two hours after Israel and Hamas began observing a three-day cease-fire.

Hamas Health Ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra and Gaza police spokesman Ayman Batniji say 15 other Palestinians were wounded in the shelling east of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

An Israeli Army spokesman in Jerusalem said the military was looking into the incident.
