Reports from the Gaza Strip say three people have been killed in two separate attacks by Israeli forces.
The militant group Hamas said two of its members were killed in an Israeli air strike near the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Israeli military officials said the armed men were approaching the barrier between Israel and Gaza.
And in southern Gaza, medical staff said a civilian was shot dead by Israeli troops near the Sufa crossing.
However the Israeli army said that the man was crawling towards the crossing in a "suspicious manner".
Israel has stepped up attacks on Gaza in recent months, in what it says is an attempt to stop Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel.
Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in Gaza on Monday.
Hamas, which took over Gaza by force in June, has not been invited to the Annapolis talks on the Middle East.
The Islamist militant group is scheduled to hold a demonstration against the Annapolis meeting.
