Israeli military actions in Gaza intensified, resulting in the deaths of at least 80 Palestinians as Hamas fired rockets amidst the conflict. Israel's military aimed to pressure Hamas for the release of hostages, while new airstrikes led to significant destruction in areas previously impacted by the conflict. Evacuation orders imposed greater restrictions on movement for civilians, and the situation has become increasingly dire with heavy casualties, including many children. The Israeli government issued warnings to Hamas, indicating the desire to maintain military pressure and security along its borders.
Scenes that were familiar from earlier in the war once again returned in Gaza: Israeli evacuation orders, partial prohibitions on movement between north and south Gaza, and airstrikes that have killed a total of more than 500 people including more than 200 children over the last several days, according to Gaza health officials.
In a video addressed to Gaza residents, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he was issuing a 'final warning,' demanding Hamas' hostages be released and the group be removed from control in Gaza.
