Included in the casualties were 10 people killed in Zeitoun and at least 13 killed southwest of Gaza City. Medics said most of the 13 were hit by gunfire, but residents also reported an airstrike.

Palestinians in northern Gaza reported one of the worst nights of Israeli bombardment in weeks after the military issued mass evacuation orders on Monday, while Israeli officials were due in Washington for a new ceasefire push by the Trump administration.

The Israeli military said it struck militant targets in northern Gaza, including command and control centres, after taking steps to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.

There was no immediate word from Israel on the reported casualties southwest of Gaza City.

Israeli tanks pushed into the eastern areas of Zeitoun suburb in Gaza City and shelled several areas in the north, while aircraft bombed at least four schools after ordering hundreds of families sheltering inside to leave, residents said.

Salah, 60, a father of five children, from Gaza City, told Reuters:

Explosions never stopped; they bombed schools and homes. It felt like earthquakes.

In the news we hear a ceasefire is near, on the ground we see death and we hear explosions.
