At least 17 Palestinians were killed, including children, in an Israeli strike on a school in Gaza's Nuseirat camp on Thursday, Nuseirat's Al-Awda hospital said.

Another 42 people were wounded in the strike, according to the hospital, which received the casualties.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Israel has carried out several strikes on schools-turned-shelters in recent months, saying it precisely targets Hamas militants hiding out among civilians. The strikes often kill women and children.

More than 42,847 Palestinians have been killed and 100,544 injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, the Gaza health ministry said on Thursday.

The war has displaced around 90% of Gaza's population of 2.3 million, often multiple times. Hundreds of thousands of people are crammed into tent camps along the coast after entire neighborhoods in many areas were pounded to rubble.

Lebanon's Hezbollah warned residents of more than two dozen Israeli "settlements" on Saturday to immediately evacuate, saying they had become legitimate targets because it said Israeli troops were stationed there.

Iran-backed Hezbollah issued its warning in a video.

The warning came after Israel's military eased some safety restrictions for residents in areas of northern Israel late on Saturday, a possible indication that it does not expect any immediate large-scale attack from Iran or its proxies in the region.

The decision followed a "situational assessment,” it said in a statement which made no mention of Israel's bombing of military sites in Iran in the early hours of Saturday, carried out in retaliation for an Iranian attack on Israel this month.

In areas closest to the border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah has for months been firing heavy barrages of rockets at Israel, schools can now open, as long as they have bomb shelters close by, the Israeli military said.

In towns a bit further from the border, nearer to the port city of Haifa, gatherings of up to 2,000 people are now permitted, it added.

Israel's military has tightened and eased restrictions for the home front over the past year, depending on its evolving assessment of the threat level.

In Saturday's attack on Iran, Israel did not target the most sensitive oil and nuclear facilities and drew no immediate vows of vengeance from Tehran.
