The men were killed when an Israeli naval ship stationed off the coast opened fire at Khan Younis beach.

Mu'awiya Hassanain, the director of emergency and ambulance services in the Palestinian health ministry named one of the deceased as Rami Abu Ar-Rus. The other officer has not yet been named.

The Israeli military claims that the attack was targeting an area from which homemade shells had been fired across the border at Israeli towns.

Khan Younis is one of the most crowded places on earth, and virtually every attack on the city by Israeli forces have resulted in civilian casualties which Israel terms 'collateral damage'. 

Wednesday's killing comes less than 24 hours after Israel and Palestinians agreed, at the Annapolis summit, to restart stalled peace talks.
