Three buildings were destroyed in the attack in Rafah, separate strike in Jabalia refugee camp kills at least 10 people.
At least 29 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike in a residential area of Rafah in southern Gaza, while a hospital was raided in north Gaza and 10 people were killed in an attack on a refugee camp in that part of the enclave.
Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have crammed into Rafah on Gaza’s border with Egypt to escape Israeli bombardments further north, despite fears that they will also not be safe there.
“Three residential buildings in one area were destroyed in the attack,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, said on Tuesday.
The number of casualties was expected to rise as more bodies were pulled from the rubble, under which people were also trapped, he said.
Journalist Adel Zoroub was among the 29 killed in the air raid in Rafah, the Government Media Office in Gaza said on its Telegram channel.
