The Security Council has decided to renew measures designed to implement the arms embargo against Libya for another year, the UN said in a statement.

The measures include authorizing Member States — acting nationally or through regional organizations — to inspect vessels on the high seas off Libya’s coast believed to be in violation of the arms embargo imposed on that country.

Adopting Resolution 2733 (2024) by a recorded vote of 9 in favor to none against, with 6 abstentions, the Council extended the authorizations set out in its Resolution 2684 (2023) for a further 12 months, the statement said late Friday.

At least nine Palestinians were killed Wednesday in two separate Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza, medics said.

One strike hit a group of Palestinians gathered outside a charity providing hot meals in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

At least five people, including a woman and her adult daughter, were killed in the strike, according to the Awda hospital, which received the casualties.

A separate strike on a tent killed a father, mother and their daughter in the town of Zwaeida, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby city of Deir al-Balah. The hospital said the explosion tore the man's body in half.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
