Israeli airstrikes killed at least 11 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Friday, health officials said, as the military said the attacks were launched in response to a failed rocket fired from the enclave, underscoring the fragility of a cease-fire that has stalled at its first phase.
Medics said four people, including children, were killed when an Israeli strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families in western Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Three others were wounded. Another person was killed in a separate strike east of the city, near areas where Israeli forces continue to operate.
In northern Gaza, a strike hit a school in Jabalia that was housing displaced residents, killing one man, according to medics.
