The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip reports one person killed and seven others hurt in an explosion on the Gaza border during riots.
Palestinian media reports suggest the blast was a result of an explosive device that Palestinians had attempted to detonate next to the Israeli security barrier.
