By Ayman Mohyeldin and Andy Eckardt, NBC News Updated at 7:55 a.m. ET: GAZA -- A 20-year-old Palestinian was killed and 10 others injured by Israeli forces Friday, Palestinian medical officials told NBC News, despite the U.S.-brokered cease-fire declared Wednesday.

The men were shot on the Gaza side of the border as they tried to access their farmland in the eastern part of Khan Younis, the Palestinian Medical Service said early Friday.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki said the shooting had broken the cease-fire, Reuters reported. Malki, speaking at a meeting with Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi, called the incident “a clear violation of the agreement and should not be repeated.”Slideshow: Israel and Gaza: 8 days of violenceBernat Armangue / APIsrael's military said it had accomplished its objectives while Hamas claimed victory after the two sides exchanged deadly airstrikes and rocket attacks for over a week.Launch slideshow
