A relative lull in violence in Gaza ended sharply on Monday afternoon as at least 10 Palestinian children were killed and others injured in a strike on western Gaza City's Al-Shati Camp.
While Gazans said the strikes were launched by Israeli fighter jets, the Israeli army claimed it was misfired rockets launched by Islamic Jihad.
A short while later, a missile struck a building inside the compound housing Gaza’s largest hospital on Monday, Hamas medics and an AFP correspondent said.
An AFP correspondent at the scene said a wall of a building inside the compound was damaged by a missile, which he said was fired by an Israeli drone.
