Israeli troops have shot and killed a Palestinian man and wounded at least 15 others after crowds surged towards Gaza's border fence with Israel.
The shooting did not appear to pose an immediate threat to the ceasefire declared on Wednesday night, which called for an end to Gaza rocket fire on Israel and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
It appeared unlikely Hamas would retaliate for the shooting because that could jeopardise the militant group's potential gains from the ceasefire deal, such as an easing of restrictions on movement in and out of the Palestinian territory.
Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas prime minister in Gaza, has urged militant factions to respect the ceasefire.
But Nafez Azzam, a spokesman for Gaza's Islamic Jihad, said the shooting was a violation of the truce and added that Egypt had been informed.
It is believed hundreds of Palestinians approached Israel's border fence in several locations in southern Gaza.
In the past, Israel's military has barred Palestinians from getting close to the fence, and soldiers opened fire routinely to enforce a no-go zone meant to prevent infiltrations into Israel.
Since the ceasefire, growing numbers of Gazans have entered the no-go zone.
In footage taken along the border on Friday, a soldier is heard shouting in Hebrew "Go there, before I shoot you," and pointed away from the fence, toward Gaza.
Israeli troops guard the border The soldier then dropped to one knee, assuming a firing position. Eventually, a burst of automatic fire was heard, but it was not clear whether any of the casualties were from this incident.
Gaza health official Ashraf al Kidra said the victim was a 20-year-old man.
On Thursday Israeli police said 12 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip but there were no reports of any injuries or damage.
The truce has allowed both Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step back from the brink of a fully-fledged war.
Over eight days, Israel's aircraft carried out some 1,500 strikes on Hamas-linked targets, while Gaza fighters peppered Israel with roughly the same number of rockets.
The fighting killed 166 Palestinians, including dozens of civilians, and six Israelis.
In Cairo, Egypt is hosting separate talks with Israeli and Hamas envoys on the next phase of the ceasefire - a new border deal for blockaded Gaza.
Hamas demands lifting of all border restrictions, while Israel insists that Hamas must halt weapons smuggling to the territory.
