Israeli Strikes Kill 10 as Gazans Told to Leave Combat Zones

EU Official Tells Israeli Foreign Minister That Attacks Are 'Unacceptable'

- 

Israeli strikes killed at least 10 Palestinians in Gaza on March 19, local health workers said, as the Israeli army resumed its bombardments and issued new orders for residents to evacuate combat zones.

A foreign national was killed and four others were wounded in an air strike on the site of a UN headquarters in central Gaza City, Gaza's Health Ministry said.

The Israeli military denied in a statement that it struck the UN compound in Deir al-Balah. It said it targeted a Hamas site in northern Gaza where it detected preparations for firing into Israeli territory.

On March 18, Israeli air strikes killed more than 400 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, in one of the highest single-day death tolls since the beginning of the conflict, with Israel warning the onslaught was "just the beginning".

Israel and Hamas accuse each other of breaching the truce, which had offered a respite for Gaza's 2.3 million residents after 17 months of war that has reduced the enclave to rubble and forced the majority of its population to displace multiple times.
