The strike, in which many more were wounded, occurred in the city of Deir Al-Balah where a million people have taken shelter after fleeing fighting elsewhere after more than a year of war.
The Israeli military said on Thursday it had carried out a "precise strike on terrorists" who had a command and control centre embedded in a school.
"This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organisation's systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure in violation of international law," a military statement said.
The Palestinian militant group denies such accusations. Medics said 54 other people were injured at the school.
