GAZA: (Web Desk) At least 66 Palestinians have been killed and 241 others injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 24-hour reporting, according to the Health Ministry in the besieged territory.

 Israel’s military has bombed villages and towns in south and east Lebanon after accusing Hezbollah of firing a rocket that killed 12 young people from the Druze community in the town of Majdal Shams in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Lebanese group denied any responsibility for the rocket attack.

At least three people, including a child, were killed in a new Israeli air attack on the tents of displaced people in the al-Mawasi refugee camp, west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

The Palestinian Information Centre reported a higher death toll, saying five people were killed including children. A photo shared on Telegram and verified by the Dataminr agency showed the bodies of a baby and a teenager.

Earlier this month, Israeli strikes killed at least 90 people and wounded 300 others seeking shelter in al-Mawasi, described by its military as a “humanitarian” safe zone.

The number of people killed following two Israeli strikes on Khan Younis has risen to six, with a child among the dead.

With attacks ongoing, medical sources told Al Jazeera that 15 bodies have so far arrived at Nasser Hospital in southern Khan Younis since dawn.

The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders on Saturday for Khan Younis that further expand into an area where displaced Palestinians have been forced to shelter. The latest order comes a week after the army began a new ground invasion, months after launching an offensive there.

The Khan Younis assault displaced at least 180,000 Palestinians in the first days since it began.

Meanwhile, fighter jets struck targets after Israel accused the Lebanese group of killing 12 youths in a rocket attack on the occupied Golan Heights.

Hezbollah denied responsibility for the strike as the UN called for maximum restraint to prevent what it described as “a catastrophe beyond belief” if a full-scale war breaks out.
