Doctor Marwan Al-Sultan was killed in his apartment in Gaza City along with his wife, daughters, and son-in-law, a relative who said he found them, Ahmed al-Sultan, told AFP.
The doctor's body was taken to the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, his face barely recognisable, the director of that facility, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, told AFP.
The killing drew condemnation from Hamas and the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
"We strongly condemn this heinous crime against our medical personnel, and we ask Allah to grant him and his family mercy, after a long journey of service," the ministry said.
The Israeli army told AFP: "The claim that, as a result of the strike, uninvolved civilians were harmed is being reviewed."
It said it "struck a key terrorist from the Hamas terrorist organisation in the area of Gaza City" on Wednesday.
