In the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, medical sources reported that seven Palestinians were killed and more than 10 injured after Israeli forces targeted tents sheltering displaced people.
East of Khan Younis, in the town of Bani Suhaila, at least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike, according to sources from the Nasser Medical Complex.
Seperately, two people were killed in an Israeli attack on a house in al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
It comes as a new report in the Guardian has found that babies in Gaza are facing death due to critical shortages in baby milk.
Dr Ahmad al-Farra, the head of paediatrics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, said his ward only had a week's worth of baby milk left, which he is also forced to use for premature babies as specialised formula has run out.
al-Farra told the Guardian: "I can't begin to describe how bad things are. Right now, we have enough formula for about one week.

"But we also have infants outside the hospital without any access to milk. It's catastrophic."
Infant formula has almost disappeared in Gaza due to Israel blocking most aid from entering the enclave.
Israel has denied restricting the entry of baby food, including formula.
The Guardian said that at least 66 Palestinian children have starved to death in Gaza since October 2023, citing local health authorities.
According to a recent report from a UN-backed group of experts, 500,000 people face catastrophic hunger in Gaza, while the rest of the population is experiencing acute food insecurity.

28 Palestinians including children killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza
The children and two women were among at least 13 people who were killed in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, after Israeli airstrikes pounded the area starting late on Friday, officials in Al-Aqsa Martyr's Hospital said. Another four people were killed in strikes near a petrol station, and 15 others died in Israeli airstrikes in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, according to Nasser Hospital. The Israeli military said in a statement that over the past 48 hours, troops struck approximately 250 targets in the Gaza Strip, including militants, booby-trapped structures, weapons storage facilities, anti-tank missile launch posts, sniper posts, tunnels and additional Hamas infrastructure sites. The military did not respond to The Associated Press' request for comment on the civilian deaths. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people in their October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and abducted 251. They still hold 50 hostages, fewer than half of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's offensive has killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry. The ministry, which is under Gaza's Hamas-run government, does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. The UN and other international organisations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties. US President Donald Trump has said that he is closing in on another ceasefire agreement that would see more hostages released and potentially wind down the war. But after two days of talks this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu there were no signs of a breakthrough.
