Israel-Gaza latest: Jets strike Gaza as ceasefire ends; leaflets order residents to 'evacuate city immediately'
The IDF has said its fighter jets are striking Hamas targets in Gaza, after the deadline for another ceasefire extension passed without any agreement being announced. Rockets have also been launched from Gaza, Israel said.
Map indicates 'new format' of Israeli military operations
The IDF has published an online map dividing Gaza into grid squares, which it says it will use to indicate which areas civilians should evacuate.
Addressing the residents of Gaza in Arabic, its website said they should check the map and follow instructions from the IDF "to preserve your lives".
The IDF said an Arabic-language video had been released on social media and the map was being distributed by the army in Gaza.
"This divides the territory of the Gaza Strip into areas according to recognizable areas to enable the residents of Gaza to orient themselves and understand the instructions, and to evacuate from specific places for their safety if required," a statement said.
Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall said Israel appeared to be trying to avoid displacing people en masse, as the US has objected to.
They may be trying to operate in one area of a few hundred square metres at a time, he said.
"I think it will be easier for the Israelis to resume their military operations in the north with a similar sort of tempo," said Bunkall.
"It is in the south that we might see a different format of Israeli military operations."
Islamic Jihad 'attacks Israeli cities'
Palestinian Islamic Jihad has said it attacked Israeli cities and towns this morning.
Its armed wing, al Quds Brigades, said the attacks were in response to "crimes against our people".
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry has said 32 Palestinians have been killed once hostilities resumed this morning, meaning the death toll has risen by 18 since their last statement at 7.30am.
Explained: Islamic Jihad is a militant group and ally of Hamas which took part in its 7 October attack, taking dozens of hostages of its own.
Qatar: Attempts to return to pause 'complicated' by bombings
Qatar has confirmed our earlier reports that negotiations were ongoing despite the end of the pause.
The aim of the talks is to return to a ceasefire, its foreign ministry said.
Mediation efforts have been "complicated" by the bombing of Gaza this morning since the truce expired, it said.
The ministry called on the international community "to move quickly to stop the violence" and the "humanitarian catastrophe".
"Qatar expresses its deep regret at the resumption of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip following the end of the humanitarian pause, without reaching an agreement to extend it," it said.
"Qatar is committed, along with its mediation partners, to continuing the efforts that led to the humanitarian pause, and will not hesitate to do everything necessary to return to calm."
It said it condemned "all forms of targeting civilians, the practice of collective punishment, and attempts to forcibly displace citizens of the besieged Gaza Strip"
Hamas blames Israel for 'rejecting all offers' for more hostages
Hamas has accused Israel of rejecting all offers to release more hostages.
It said Israel bore responsibility for "resuming war and aggression".
This conflicts with a statement made by Benjamin Netanyahu earlier, which said Hamas did not agree to release further hostages.
Leaflets order Gazans to 'evacuate city immediately'
A little earlier, residents in southern Gaza reported that Israel was dropping leaflets ordering them to leave the east of Khan Younis.
We can now bring you pictures of the leaflets, addressed "to the residents" of al Qarara, Khirbet al Khuza'a, Abasan and Bani Suhaila - all in the Khan Younis area.
It reads: "You are under orders to evacuate immediately and to go to the shelters in the Rafah area.
"The city of Khan Younis is a dangerous combat zone.
"We have warned you.
"Israel Defence Forces."
Despite the orders to evacuate to Rafah, Reuters has photographed strikes taking place there (see our previous post).
Their photographers also captured images of Palestinians fleeing Khan Younis after strikes.
In pictures: Children rescued from rubble in southern Gaza
As strikes in Gaza resumed, photographs taken by Reuters showed Palestinians rescuing children from the rubble in the southern border town of Rafah.
