The Gaza health ministry said the dead included six children and four women. It added that dozens of others were wounded by Israeli fire. Hamas media put the number of the dead at 26. Israel said the attacks were aimed at armed militants, including some top Hamas military commanders. Palestinian officials called those allegations false and said they were used to justify the attacks.
"A family, including children, were all torn to pieces while they were sleeping," said a man who arrived in an ambulance bearing the bodies. Another air strike in Gaza City in the north of the densely populated enclave killed two other Palestinians, they added.
