The Latest | Overnight strike kills 9 in Khan Younis, hours after Israel ordered a mass evacuation

An Israeli strike has killed at least nine people in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. The overnight strike comes shortly after Israel ordered the evacuation of parts of the city ahead of a likely ground operation. The strike hit a home near the European Hospital, which is inside the zone that Israel said should be evacuated. After the initial evacuation orders, the military said the facility itself was not included, but most patients and medics have already been relocated. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says some 250,000 people are in the evacuation zone. That's over 10% of Gaza’s population and includes many who already fled earlier fighting. Palestinians and aid groups say nowhere in the territory feels safe.
