United Nations officials said a building that was being used as a shelter by about 800 people had been “clearly marked” as one of their facilities. Israel denied responsibility.

United Nations officials said a building hit in Khan Younis that was being used as a shelter by about 800 people had been “clearly marked” as one of their facilities. Israel denied responsibility.

The attacks — the ninth in two weeks — hit anti-ship missiles that the Iran-backed militia could use against merchant and Navy ships in the region.

The strikes were “in direct response” to a series of attacks by Iranian-sponsored militias against U.S. and coalition personnel in Iraq and Syria, the defense secretary said.

The attacks — the ninth in two weeks — hit anti-ship missiles that the Iran-backed militia could use against merchant and Navy ships in the region.

The strikes were “in direct response” to a series of attacks by Iranian-sponsored militias against U.S. and coalition personnel in Iraq and Syria, the defense secretary said.

The strikes against eight sites come as the Iran-backed militant group remains defiant and the region teeters on the edge of a wider war.

The strikes, the sixth round in 10 days, targeted Houthi missiles that were poised to attack merchant and military vessels in the Red Sea, according to a White House official.

The ultimate goal, officials said, is to establish a workable alternative to delivering aid via Egypt in a way that satisfies Israel’s demand for security checks.

Palestinian authorities said on Sunday that more than 25,000 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip in the Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7 attacks.
