Israel 'regrets' deaths in Egypt and promises inquiry
The Israeli defence minister has said he "regrets" the deaths of Egyptian policemen on the Gaza border, as Cairo considers recalling its ambassador.
Without confirming Israeli forces had killed the five policemen, Ehud Barak said he had ordered a joint inquiry to be held with the Egyptian army.
Israeli forces had pursued militants after attacks on Thursday, he said.
A rocket killed one person and injured at least four in the Israeli city of Beersheba on Saturday.
Israeli sources identified it as a Grad rocket, adding that two children were slightly injured when Grads hit another town, Ofakim.
Hamas militants have confirmed they fired missiles Grad missiles at Ofakim, in retaliation for Israeli attacks this week, AFP news agency reports. There was no immediate comment on the Beersheba attack.

Both the Israeli foreign ministry and defence ministry put out statements expressing regret for the deaths - following consultations between ministers, the military and intelligence officers.
They said an Israeli military inquiry would take place, followed by a joint examination with the Egyptian army to determine what went wrong.
However these comments are unlikely to satisfy Egypt's interim government. And they have not quelled protests outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
In recognition of the dangers of a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Egypt, the Israeli government has also emphasised its continuing commitment to the 1979 peace treaty signed by the two countries. The defence ministry said this had great strategic importance for the stability of the Middle East.
* Egypt and Israel's 'cold peace'
Since Thursday's attacks, Israeli aircraft have repeatedly attacked targets in the Gaza Strip, while Palestinian militants have fired more than 20 rockets into Israel.
In Cairo, the deaths of the Egyptian policemen prompted angry crowds to gather in protest outside the Israeli embassy.
The Egyptian cabinet spokesman Mohammed Hegazy told the BBC that Cairo had not yet taken a decision to withdraw its ambassador from Tel Aviv, contrary to earlier reports quoting a cabinet release.
That statement had said Egypt was recalling its ambassador until Israel explained why it had reportedly shot the policemen. It said Cairo held Israel politically and legally responsible for the deaths.
But Mr Hegazy said the statement was a "draft" and not finalised.
The latest violence began on Thursday when gunmen attacked Israeli civilian buses near the Red Sea resort of Eilat, killing eight people.
Egyptian officials say Israeli forces chased the suspected militants across the border, and a number of people were killed - including the policemen.
Tensions between Israel and Egypt have escalated sharply, the BBC's Yolande Knell reports from Jerusalem.
Their 30-year-old peace treaty was already being tested after the long-time Egyptian leader, Hosni Mubarak, was forced from office earlier this year, our correspondent says.

Israelis Hurt In Palestinian Rocket Attacks
By Emma Hurd, Middle East correspondent | Sky News – 41 minutes
....Several Israelis have been injured in a series of rocket attacks from Gaza, as Palestinian militants hit back after a series of airstrikes.
At least a dozen Grad and Qasam rockets were fired from the territory, most landing in open ground.
But one came down in an industrial area in the city of Ashdod, wounding at least six people.
Israel has pounded Gaza in retaliation for Thursday's co-ordinated attack near Eilat that killed eight Israelis, six of them civilians.
One of the airstrikes killed the commander of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) and several of his deputies.
Israel blames the PRC for sending a "terrorist squad" from Gaza to carry out the co-ordinated attack along Egypt's border with Israel, in which several vehicles were hit by gunfire and heavy weapons.
The assault was the deadliest inside Israel for three years.
Israeli officials claim to have evidence that attackers entered Egypt via smuggling tunnels from Gaza and travelled down through the Egyptian Sinai to cross into Israel.
Officials warned the assault shows that Egypt's grip on the Sinai - an area where various militant groups, including some linked to al Qaeda, are known to operate - has weakened since February's ousting of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
In the past week, the transitional military rulers in Egypt have sent 2,000 troops to the area to try to re-assert control after a series of attacks against the gas pipeline from Egypt to Israel.
The two nations, under the peace deal between them, traditionally co-operate over security.
But relations are changing, and reports that one of the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza missed and hit a group of Egyptian soldiers, killing several of them, may further strain the partnership.
The increase in violence by Palestinian militants has raised fears that it could mark the start of a prolonged campaign.
Next month, the Fatah-led Palestinian Government in the West Bank is to ask the UN General Assembly to recognise the Palestinian territories as a "state".
The move - fiercely opposed by Israel - is expected to be accompanied by a wave of protests.
