Gaza City - AFP
Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip killed 10 people early Saturday, medics said, on day 12 of a major operation against the Palestinian territory.
The first strike killed seven people outside a mosque in the southern city of Khan Yunis, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP, adding that three of the dead were from the same family.
One woman was among those killed, Qudra said.
Three more people were killed shortly afterwards, in three separate strikes in Beit Hanun in the north, Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and another in Khan Yunis.
The deaths took the toll from an Israeli operation to stamp out rocket fire from Gaza to 306, many of them women and children.
One Israeli civilian and one Israeli soldier have been killed since the campaign started on July 8.
