An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people and wounded several others on Monday, outside a school that has been housing displaced Palestinians, health officials in the Hamas-run sector of the enclave say.
Before the strikes, some Palestinians had clashed with members of an Israeli-backed militia, who they said attacked the school in an attempt to abduct some people, medics and residents say.
In the midst of the clashes, east of the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli drones fired two missiles into the area, killing at least 10 people and wounding several others, they say.
It was not immediately clear how many civilians were killed in the strikes, which hit a closely packed neighborhood of mostly displaced Palestinians.
A leader of one of the Israel-backed militias says in a video, which Reuters cannot immediately authenticate, that they killed some five Hamas members .
There is no immediate comment from Hamas, which brands those groups that operate in areas under Israeli control as “Israeli collaborators.”
The Israeli military also has no immediate comment.
