It was not immediately clear whether the dead were Hamas militants. The mosque is named after a founder of Hamas who was killed by Israel in 2004.
The medical officials say more than 30 people were wounded in Saturday´s airstrike in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. At least seven are in critical condition.
Earlier, the AP reported, Israeli warplanes, gunboats and artillery units bombarded more than 40 Hamas targets Saturday, including weapons storage facilities, training centers and leaders´ homes as Israel´s offensive against Gaza´s Islamic militant rulers entered a second week.
