At least 15 Palestinians were killed in new Israeli strikes on Gaza City, medics in the coastal enclave say.

“At least 15 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on the Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City that hit a house and a mosque,” Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra says. An earlier toll said 10 were killed.

Al Jazeera says the strike hit the home of the Al-Batsh family. Israel’s Channel 2 says the apparent target was Tayseer Batsh, a Hamas police chief, who was reportedly injured in the strike.

Another 35 were injured in the same strike, and one more person was killed in southern Gaza’s Rafah, Qudra said.
