Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, said "four people were killed, including a child and several others were injured... in a strike targeting a police vehicle" in Gaza City.
He identified the child as three-year-old Yahya al-Mallahi.
Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of the dead.
In a statement, Gaza's interior ministry said Israeli warplanes had "targeted a police vehicle" in the city centre, "causing several deaths and injuries".
Bassal also said another person had been killed by Israeli fire in the northern Beit Lahia area earlier on Tuesday.
AFP footage showed Palestinians gathering around the body of a man who was then placed on a stretcher and carried away to be buried through streets lined with rubble.
Later on Tuesday evening, the civil defence agency reported that multiple people were killed in another strike near an intersection in the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.
The Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving five bodies from "an Israeli drone bombing with two missiles a group of citizens in front of warehouses for electricity generators" in Al-Shati.
Israeli attacks have continued despite a Gaza ceasefire that took effect on October 10. According to the territory's health ministry, at least 757 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began.
Since the war started in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 72,336 Palestinians and wounded 172,213 more, many of them women and children, the ministry said.
