Israeli strike kills 18 Palestinians in central Gaza

Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 18 Palestinians on Saturday with Israel claiming the strikes targeted gunmen operating from shelters and aid storages. 

Palestinian medics said a strike killed 10 people near the municipality building in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where people gathered to receive aid. 

Medics added that casualties from the strike were being carried by foot, on rickshaws and private cars from the site of the attack to the hospital.

A Hamas source said the strike killed the head of the Hamas-run administrative committee in central Gaza.
