The vast majority of the besieged Gaza Strip's 2.4 million people have been displaced at least once by Israel's assault on Gaza with many seeking shelter in school buildings.
Civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Bassal reported "seven martyrs and a number of wounded, including serious cases, as a result of Israeli shelling of Kafr Qasim School" in the Al-Shati refugee camp.
He said hundreds of displaced Palestinians were sheltering there.
On Saturday, Gaza's civil defence agency reported that an Israeli strike on another school-turned-shelter in Gaza City killed 21 people, including 13 children and six women, according to preliminary figures.
A strike on the United Nations-run Al-Jawni School in central Gaza on September 11 drew an international outcry after the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said six of its staffers were among the 18 reported fatalities.
At least 41,431 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Israel's relentless bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry. The United Nations confirms most of the dead are women and children.
The toll includes 40 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to the ministry, which said 95,818 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the Israeli assault began in October.
