11 killed in Israeli attack in Gaza
DEIR AL BALAR, Gaza Strip — Palestinian health officials said Israeli military attacks killed 11 people, including one woman and three children, in central Gaza overnight on Monday.

An Associated Press reporter counted the bodies that arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central town of Deir al-Baraf on Monday and verified the details in hospital records.
