At least 11 Palestinians have been killed, including women and children, and dozens wounded in Israeli air strikes across Gaza City, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.
Simultaneous strikes were launched by at least three Israeli helicopters against four residential buildings in the Sheikh Radwan and Tel al-Hawa areas, and the Shati refugee camp early on Thursday, causing powerful explosions, the BBC was told.
Videos posted on social media, said to show the aftermath of the attacks, showed distressing images of people trying to leave a building engulfed in fire in Shati camp.
The Israeli military said the strikes killed four senior members of Hamas's General Security Apparatus.
It identified them as Hassan Labad, the deputy head of the apparatus, along with three subordinates, Asim Shubair, Abdullah Abu Kaloub, and Mohammed Abu Marq.
