Three Palestinians were killed in a shooting attack in Gaza City, the Interior Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement said 55-year-old Ahmed Abdel Aziz and his son Mohammed, 25, were shot dead Tuesday in a drive-by shooting by unidentified armed men.

Abdel Aziz Abdel Aziz, 22, who was in the same car when the attack took place, died of his wounds, the statement added.

Investigation was underway and police said the killing was related to family disputes.

Meanwhile, police found body of Rezeq Abdel Aziz on Tuesday in a cemetery in northern Gaza Strip. The man had been kidnapped by gunmen days earlier.

Interior Minister Nasser Youssef and police chief Brig. Alla'a Hossni have vowed to impose order and curb surging crimes in the desert coastal strip.

In an apparent effort to show the determination, the Palestinian National Authority executed on Sunday four people convicted of the first degree murder.
