At least 29 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people outside a school in southern Gaza, hospital officials say.

Gaza's Hamasrun health ministry said the strike had hit next to the gate of alAwda school in the town of Abasan alKabira, east of the city of Khan Younis.

The Israeli military said it had used "precise munition" to target a "terrorist from Hamas' military wing" who, it said, had taken part in the 7 October attack on Israel.

It said it was "looking into the reports that civilians were harmed" adjacent to alAwda school, which houses displaced people from the eastern villages of Khan Younis.
