Six people were killed in the Gaza Strip when an Israeli missile exploded amid attempts to dismantle it.
The incident happened in the town of Beit Lahiya, in the north of the Gaza Strip.
It comes hours before a three-day ceasefire agreed between Israel and the Palestinians is due to expire.
Indirect talks aimed at finding a long-term solution to the Gaza conflict having been taking place in Cairo involving negotiators from the two sides.
Among those killed in Wednesday's explosion was Simone Camilli, a video journalist working for several international agencies, including Associated Press.
Some 2,000 people have died since the fighting in Gaza began on 8 July.
Those killed include more than 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the UN.
Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the violence and three civilians in Israel have also died.
