(CNN) -- Palestinians activated an explosive device and a Palestinian was killed by Israeli helicopter fire early Tuesday in the first incidents of violence since last week's Mideast cease-fire, according to Hamas and Israeli army sources.

The explosive device was detonated against an Israeli army patrol along the border just north of Kissufim crossing about 8 a.m. Tuesday.
In the fighting, an Israeli soldier was killed and three others were wounded, according to the Israeli military.
The Palestinian was killed by Israeli helicopter fire east of Khan Yunis, near the border fence with Israel, about 90 minutes later.
Israel closed the crossings between Israel and Gaza after the explosive was detonated, a defense ministry spokesman said.
Israel launched its 22-day assault on Hamas, the Palestinian movement which controls Gaza, on December 27. More than 1,300 Palestinians died during the air and ground campaign, and 13 Israelis were killed.
Israel declared a unilateral cease-fire in mid-January, and pulled its troops out by January 21.
It said the operation aimed to stop Palestinian militants from firing rockets into Israel from Gaza.
