The Israeli military said on Saturday it carried out an airstrike that destroyed a Hamas command post in an old school in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.
There were no reports from the Israeli side of Hamas fighters being killed or injured or other casualties.
But Palestinian news agency WAFA in the West Bank reported, citing Palestinian sources, that at least eight people were killed in the attack on the building, including children.
WAFA said refugee families had found shelter in the old school.
The Israeli military described the attack as a precision strike and said pre-emptive measures were taken to limit the risk of harm to civilians.
In another incident in Jabalia, three armed fighters were killed after they were spotted by a drone leaving the foot of a tunnel, according to the Israeli military.
Rescuers hampered by fuel, lack of spare parts
Fire and rescue services in Gaza are only partially operational, the local civil defense authority said on Saturday.
Some of the emergency vehicles in the cities of Gaza and Khan Younis are no longer running because there are no spare parts to maintain them, according to a statement from the Hamas-controlled authority.
Warehouses and spare parts workshops were destroyed during the war by Israeli airstrikes, he said.
In addition, severe fuel shortages have rendered more than half of the rescue service vehicles in the Gaza Strip inoperable, he said.
The Civil Defense appealed to regional and international humanitarian organizations to urgently bring spare parts and equipment to Gaza so that emergency services transport can be maintained.
The Gaza war was sparked by the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, which saw Palestinian militants kill around 1,200 people and deport another 250 to the Gaza Strip.
Israel responded by pounding Gaza with airstrikes and sending ground troops into the closed coastal zone with the stated aim of defeating the anti-Hamas group, which had controlled Gaza until then.
Nearly 46,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to Palestinian estimates.
