The Israeli army claims it has hit more than 400 targets in Gaza, including in southern Khan Younis where thousands of Palestinians fled to escape the Israeli attacks in north Gaza.
Khan Younis is where Yasser Sinwar, who heads Hamas in Gaza, and Mohammad Dief, who heads Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, hail from.
Israel also resumed its bombardment of Gaza, hitting areas across Gaza after the end of a week-long truce.
