Israeli Strikes Kill 16 in Gaza's Khan Younis

Israeli strikes killed at least 16 Palestinians in eastern areas of Khan Younis, Gaza health officials said, shortly after Israel issued new orders to evacuate some neighborhoods after what it said was renewed attacks from those zones.

To allow this, the military said it was adjusting the borders of a humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi to keep the civilian population away from areas of combat.

Casualties were brought to Nasser hospital in ambulances and cars, as relatives mourn those killed in the strikes.

The military statement said the new orders were due to renewed Palestinian attacks, including rockets launched from the targeted areas in eastern Khan Younis. The evacuation orders did not include health institutions, Palestinians said.

The Palestinians, the United Nations, and international relief agencies have said there is no safe place left in Gaza.

Israel said the attacks were aimed at armed militants, including some top Hamas military chiefs. Palestinian officials called those allegations false and used to justify the attacks.

Israel's military released footage of strikes on what they say were 'Hezbollah weapons storage facilities' in southern Lebanon.

The video comes after Israeli strikes later targeted a depot storing ammunition belonging to Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel "cannot bring the resistance to their knees" after Israeli forces pounded several areas across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 39 Palestinians according to health officials.

Speaking at an event attended by President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Khamenei accused Israeli forces of the "highest of crimes and violence" as they look to dismantle the last battalions of Hamas' armed wing in Rafah.

Nearly 39,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip, according to health authorities in the enclave.
