Israeli military strikes have killed at least 14 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, as Israeli forces deepened their incursion into Beit Hanoun town in the north, forcing most remaining residents to leave, Reuters reports.
Residents said Israeli forces besieged shelters housing displaced families and the remaining population, which some estimated at a few thousand, ordering them to head south through a checkpoint separating two towns and a refugee camp in the north from Gaza City.
Men were held for questioning, while women and children were allowed to continue towards Gaza City, residents and Palestinian medics said.
