TEL AVIV — Israeli strikes early Sunday killed 12 people in Gaza, including four who were sheltering in a tent camp for displaced people inside a hospital complex, while a stabbing attack carried out by a Palestinian killed two people in a Tel Aviv suburb.

Tensions have soared following nearly 10 months of war in Gaza and the killing of two senior militants in separate strikes in Lebanon and Iran last week. Those killings brought threats of revenge from Iran and its allies and raised fears of an even more destructive regional war.

Israel is bracing for a potential multiday attack by Iran and Hezbollah, with waves of missiles and drones fired over an extended period, an Israeli official told NBC News.

“They’ll just try to wear us out,” the official said.
