GAZA CITY - Israeli artillery fire killed one Palestinian in the north of the Gaza Strip on Monday, medics said.
Khaled al-Kafarneh was killed when an artillery shell hit his house in Beit Lahiya, they said.
The Israeli army said it was checking into the reports.
The violence comes as Egypt continued efforts to broker a lasting truce in the coastal strip to replace shaky mutual ceasefires called by Israel and Hamas on January 18 after Israel's 22-day on Gaza.
