Reports Israeli tanks break Gaza ceasefire after three hours August 1, 2014

http://www.smh.com.au/world/reports-israeli-tanks-break-gaza-ceasefire-after-three-hours-20140801-zzlv2.html

Israeli tank fire has killed at least four Palestinians and wounded about 20 in Gaza in defiance of the ceasefire, Gaza officials say.

International news organisations, including the Associated Press and al-Jazeera, have reported the deaths, along with numerous correspondents.

"BREAKING: Gaza officials: Israeli tank fire kills 4 Palestinians after cease-fire," AP tweeted.

"At least five Palestinians have been killed and 20 wounded in Rafah by Israeli tank shells according to the Gaza Interior Ministry," al-Jazeera reported.

The attack would be the end of an agreed 72-hour ceasefire, less than three hours after it began.
