"Ten martyrs so far resulting from Israeli strikes since dawn," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

Adding that they had targeted an area where displaced civilians were sheltering in the southern city of Khan Younis and houses in Gaza City and the central town of Deir el-Balah.

Israel has stepped up its genocidal war in what it claims is a bid to defeat Hamas.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, at least 4,335 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 54,607, mostly women and children.
