16 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza on Friday, Hamas health officials say

Sixteen Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza today, according to local Hamas health authorities.

The IDF had no immediate comment on the reports of deaths in war-shattered Gaza. Hamas health authorities say strikes had killed people in Gaza’s Jabalia, Tuffah and Khan Younis areas.

Witnesses and medics tell Reuters that Israeli planes and tanks had intensified strikes on Jabalia and nearby Beit Hanoun since the early hours.

The Israeli military issued evacuation orders to residents of certain blocks in northern Gaza on Friday, spokesperson Avichay Adraee posted on X.
