- Story Text: On foot, in vehicles and on animal-led carts, Palestinians fled Gaza's Jabalia on Tuesday (March 25) after the Israeli military issued evacuation orders.
The Israeli army told residents in all northern border towns to evacuate, saying Palestinian rockets had been fired at Israel from the area.
Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 23 Palestinians on Tuesday, local health officials said.
The Israeli military resumed its campaign against Hamas in Gaza a week ago, shattering a two-month ceasefire. Since then, nearly 700 people, mostly women and children, have been killed, Palestinian health officials say.
Most of Gaza's 2.3 million population has already been displaced by the fighting multiple times during nearly 18 months of war and is facing worsening shortages of food and water after Israel suspended aid deliveries earlier this month.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the renewed offensive aimed to pressure Hamas into releasing the remaining 59 hostages it is holding in Gaza. About 24 of them are believed to be still alive.
The latest bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing 1,200 and taking about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel's subsequent military assault on Gaza has killed over 50,000 Palestinians, according to the local health ministry.
