Three police officers were killed in two suspected suicide bomb attacks at Hamas police checkpoints in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli media quoted a Hamas official as saying members of a cell linked to Isis had been arrested following the incidents on Tuesday.

The first attack resulted in the death of two police officers when a motorcycle exploded as it approached a checkpoint.

The second attack took place less than an hour later and killed another police officer.
