Gaza's civil defence agency said two other Israeli strikes later on Thursday elsewhere in the territory killed 14 Palestinians.
The Israeli military confirmed it had carried out the overnight strike on the area of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, which it said targeted deputy police chief Hussam Shahwan over his alleged role in planning attacks against Israeli troops.
The civil defence agency said Shahwan was among 11 people killed in the strike, which according to the rescuers and authorities in Gaza also left the commander of the police force, Mahmud Salah, dead.
"Eleven people were martyred, including three children and two women, and 15 were injured after the (Israeli) occupation aircraft bombed a tent housing displaced people in the Al Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip," said a civil defence statement.
Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the agency, said the two senior police officers were among the dead.
