Of the 28 dead, a quarter are children, about a third are women, one is an elderly man and four are officers of the Hamas-run police, the civil defense agency says.
The Hamas-run health ministry reports another 30 people wounded, some in critical condition.
The tolls cannot be verified. The IDF has not commented on the strikes.
The strikes come a day after the IDF said that its forces identified eight gunmen emerging from a tunnel in Rafah, in southern Gaza. Three of them were killed and a fourth, whom it described as a key Hamas commander in the area, was arrested.
