Israel resumed its military offensive in the Gaza Strip on Friday, ending a weeklong truce with Hamas.
The airstrikes targeted the Palestinian enclave, with warnings to civilians in southern Gaza to evacuate, indicating a potential expansion of the ground offensive.
International mediators were still working to reinstate the cease-fire, which had initially led to the release of hostages in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Hopes for a broader deal seemed to fade as tensions escalated between the two sides.
