Israeli strikes intensified across Gaza on Tuesday in some of the heaviest shelling in weeks, residents said, and the army ordered fresh evacuations in the north of the strip, warning civilians they were in a "dangerous combat zone."
Strikes by air and shelling from tanks on the ground were also reported in central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip.
In a post on X, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee urged residents of four zones in Beit Lahiya on Gaza's northern edge to move to two designated areas.
He said the military "will work with extreme force against terrorist infrastructure and subversive elements" in the region.
In a statement issued later on Tuesday, the military said it "follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm."
