Palestinian health officials say an Israeli strike has killed at least nine people in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
After the initial evacuation orders, the military said the facility itself was not included, but its director says most patients and medics have already been relocated. In all, five children and three women were among the dead, according to hospital records and a relative who survived.
