Leaders from the United States, Egypt and Qatar tried to revive efforts to halt the fighting in Gaza, scheduling a new round of talks for August 15.
Israeli tanks returned to the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Friday, forcing families to evacuate along congested roadways, as Palestinian fighters continued to attack Israeli troops from the ruins, residents and the military said.
In the latest assault, the military dropped leaflets ordering residents and displaced people sheltering in eastern Khan Younis, Gaza's main southern city, to evacuate from an area that has already seen repeated waves of fighting. Asked where would she go she replied:"God knows, we are walking now. They said to go to humanitarian areas, but there is no safe place here in Gaza. It is all destroyed and damaged."
Israel's prime minister's office said a delegation would be sent to the talks but declined to give further details. Israel launched its assault on Gaza aiming to wipe out Hamas after the group's fighters attacked Israeli towns on October 7, killing 1, 200 people and capturing more than 250 hostages according to Israeli tallies.
