Three mortar shells were fired from Gaza two hours into a temporary truce, Israel's military said, as video emerged of Palestinian militants tunnelling under the border.
No one claimed responsibility for the mortars which landed in the southern Israeli region of Eshkol.
There were no reports of injuries or damage, and it was unclear if Israel would retaliate.
The mouth of the Hamas tunnel spotted by Israeli forces Sky's Chief Correspondent Stuart Ramsay, in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, said of the apparent broken ceasefire: "Israel has said once Hamas broke the original ceasefire, there's no more negotiating. What does that mean?
"Does Israel really consider going in and try to smash Hamas with a ground attack? That's very dangerous for Israel."
The attacks came after Palestinian police said three civilians were killed when Israeli tank shells landed on a house in Gaza minutes before the truce.
An Israeli cannon fires artillery shells into Gaza on Thursday morning Fighting continued right up to the start of the fragile ceasefire which began at 10am local time (8am UK time).
A further four people were wounded in the attack on the southern Gazan town of Rafah, according to medics, while the Israeli military said 15 rockets were fired into Israel this morning.
The truce came into force hours after Israel said it had foiled an attack by 13 Palestinian gunmen who tunnelled in from Gaza.
Gaza City (foreground) and the Israeli city of Ashkelon (background) A spokesman said the Hamas fighters were identified some 250 metres inside Israel and were struck by aircraft.
He said at least one militant was killed and the remaining fighters returned to Gaza through the tunnel, which they had been digging for some time.
They were heading towards Sufa kibbutz, a small community about a mile away, when they were spotted.
It is the second time Palestinian fighters are reported to have infiltrated Israel from Gaza. Last week four were killed as they attempted to enter from the sea.
A dozen gunmen sneaked into Israel from Gaza Around 230 Palestinians have been killed during 10 days of fighting, while one Israeli has died.
Both sides have been holding indirect talks in the Egyptian capital Cairo and agreed to a second ceasefire at 4am local time (2am UK time), an Israeli official said.
They agreed to halt fighting for five hours on humanitarian grounds on Thursday to allow aid to get through and for people to shop for vital provisions.
Israel said it would stand by the agreement despite the infiltration - but warned the attempted attack "could have had devastating consequences" as the Palestinian fighters were armed with "extensive weapons", including rocket-propelled grenades.
Four children were killed in an Israeli strike on a Gaza beach on Wednesday The brief truce comes after four Palestinian children from the same family, aged nine to 11, were killed on Wednesday when a shell landed on a beach they were playing on.
Gaza's health ministry described the attack as "cowardly", while the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) promised a full investigation and said the deaths appeared to have been a "tragic outcome" of a strike aimed at Hamas militants.
Tensions in the region have been inflamed following the kidnap and murder of three Israeli teenagers and the suspected revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager.
