An Israeli airstrike on Thursday hit a police station in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, killing no fewer than 10 people.
Israel's military said it had struck a command centre of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad groups.
According to medics, two Israeli missiles hit the police station, located near a market, which injured dozens of people in addition to the 10 deaths.
At the time of filing this report, the identities of those killed were not immediately clear.
In a statement, the Israeli military apparently referring to the same incident that it attacked a command and control centre operated by Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad groups in Jabalia, which militants used to plan and execute attacks against Israeli forces.
It accused Palestinian militant groups of exploiting civilians and civil properties for military purposes, an allegation Hamas and other factions deny.
According to local health authorities, Israeli strikes have killed at least 16 other people in separate airstrikes across the enclave, bringing Thursday's death toll to 26.
Gaza health authorities said that since a January ceasefire collapsed on March 18, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,900 Palestinians, many of them civilians, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced as Israel seized what it calls a buffer zone of Gaza's land.
Efforts by Arab mediators Qatar and Egypt, backed by the United States, have so far failed to reconcile disputes between the two warring parties, Israel and Hamas.
An attack on Israel by Hamas in October 2023 killed 1,200 people, and 251 hostages were taken to Gaza.
According to health officials, since then, more than 51,300 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
