Israel has deployed extra forces along the border with the Gaza Strip amid heightened tensions with the Palestinians.

Israel says the move is part of its response to mortar and rocket fire from Palestinian militants in Hamas in Gaza.

Tensions are high after the murders of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank and the murder of a Palestinian youth in Jerusalem.

Israel accuses Hamas of killing the three teens while Palestinians say the murder of the Palestinian boy was a revenge killing by extremist Jewish settlement group.
