At least 10 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes and fighting between Hamas and an Israel-backed Palestinian militia in central Gaza, local sources say, BBC reported. 

The strikes reportedly targeted Hamas security personnel who had clashed with members of the militia east of Maghazi refugee camp. It is not clear how many of those died in the strikes or in the fighting on the ground.

A spokesperson for al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah said the bodies of 10 people from the scene had been brought there. Dozens of other people were wounded and some were in a critical condition, they added.
