- Story Text: Palestinians looked through rubble in Gaza’s Khan Younis on Tuesday (March 18), after Israeli strikes hit the area.
Strikes in Gaza were reported in multiple locations. Palestinian health ministry officials said 326 people were killed, including many children.
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he had instructed the military to take "strong action" against the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza in response to the group's refusal to release hostages held there and rejection of ceasefire proposals.
After heavy strikes, the Israeli army issued evacuation orders for a number of neighbourhoods in Gaza, according to a statement.
Hamas, meanwhile, accused Israel of overturning the hard-fought ceasefire deal, leaving the fate of 59 hostages still held in Gaza uncertain.
