At least 10 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed, and dozens more were injured in Israeli bombings in Gaza City and Rafah, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa, which cited local sources.

Eight people were killed and several others wounded after Israeli forces targeted the Ibn al-Haytham School in the Shujayea neighbourhood east of Gaza City with a missile, Wafa reported.

Those injured were taken to the nearby al-Ahli Arab (Baptist) Hospital, the agency said.

Meanwhile, two people were killed and at least 10 were injured after an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle on a road in the al-Mawasi area opposite the Red Cross field hospital in Rafah, Wafa reported.

The two victims were transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the agency.
