07:53 GMT — At least 11 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli air strike on tents of displaced people in southern Gaza.
The air strike was carried out in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis city, a medical source said, adding the deceased included three women and four children.
"Eleven people were martyred, including three children and two women, and 15 were injured after the occupation aircraft bombed a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis city in southern Gaza," Gaza's civil defence agency said in a statement.
Among those killed were the police chief Mahmud Salah and his deputy Hussam Shahwan, agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said.
Al-Mawasi area has been designated by Israel as "a safe humanitarian zone.” Israeli warplanes and drones, however, have struck the area many times, committing massacres and killing hundreds of people.
