Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: The civil defence agency in Gaza said an Israeli strike on a tent housing displaced Palestinians near the southern city of Khan Yunis on Wednesday killed at least 12 people.
"At least 12 people were killed, including several children and women, in a strike by an Israeli drone this morning on a tent for displaced persons" near Khan Yunis, the agency's spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP, adding that four more people had been killed in other strikes.
The Israeli army did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.
Since a truce collapsed in March, Israel has intensified its operations in Gaza.
