US aircraft carrier strike group arrives in Middle East

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night released a video in Hebrew addressing Israel's actions in Syria. He says he discussed this with President-Elect Trump "last night." He called it a "very friendly, very warm and very important conversation," and said they spoke about "the need to complete Israel's victory," as well as freeing the hostages in Gaza.

On Syria, Netanyahu said he has instructed the Israel Defense Forces "to thwart potential threats from Syria, and to prevent terrorist elements from taking over near our border." He also said the IDF's airstrikes in Syria have destroyed "capabilities that the Assad regime had built over decades," as well as the "arms supply routes from Syria to Hezbollah."

Netanyahu said Israel has "no interest in confronting Syria" but also said Israel will continue to act to stop Hezbollah from rearming "as much as necessary, in every arena and at any time."

The USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier strike group has arrived in the Middle East, according to U.S. Central Command.

The move from the Mediterranean was planned before the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, a U.S. official told ABC News.

The Truman replaces the USS Abraham Lincoln, which left the region last month.

At least 46 people have been killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours according to the Gaza Ministry of Health in the Hamas-run territory.

The expulsion of residents from the northern part of the strip continues amid Israel's intense offensive operation there, the Gaza Civil Defense reported.

The body said people sheltering at a school in Beit Hanoun -- on the northeastern tip of Gaza close to areas of intense fighting like Beit Lahia and Jabalia -- were forced to leave on Sunday morning, with young men arrested.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that its troops "conducted a targeted raid on a terrorist meeting point in the Beit Hanoun area."

In coordination with warplanes, "the troops struck dozens of terrorists from both the air and ground and additional terrorists were apprehended," the IDF said.

Escalating clashes between Palestinian Authority security forces and militants in the West Bank city of Jenin overnight left multiple civilians injured and at least one fighter killed, according to four local sources.

PA forces are seeking to "eradicate sedition and chaos" according to local media citing a PA spokesperson. But Jenin residents and local journalists reported unarmed crowds being targeted by tear gas and gunfire amid protests over the security forces actions.

Locals told ABC News that the PA operation -- which is coordinated with Israel -- has been ongoing for five days, besieging a refugee camp in the city.
