Israel's military said it had expanded operations in Gaza City on Friday and bombarded Hamas infrastructure, while displaced Palestinians traumatised by the advance said they had no means to flee.
"The situation is really bad. All night long, the tank was firing shells," said Palestinian Toufic Abu Mouawad, who left a camp for the displaced with nowhere else to go.
"I want to flee with the boys, the girls, the children. This is the situation that we are living in. It is a very tragic situation. We call on all the Arab countries and the people who have a good conscience to stand with us.”
Israeli forces have taken control of Gaza City's eastern suburbs and have been focusing on the Sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa areas, positioning themselves for potential movement into the central and western regions, where many civilians are taking shelter.
The Gaza health authorities said 33 Palestinians had been killed in the last 24 hours.
On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it believed 350,000 people had left Gaza City since the start of September and that about 600,000 remained.
Satellite imagery from 18 September, reviewed by Reuters, shows new tents appearing in the areas south of Gaza City after 5 September.
It also shows crowds of people on the Al Rashid road and what appear to be vehicles on the Salah al Din road.
In leaflets dropped over Gaza City, the military had told Palestinians they could use the newly reopened Salah al Din road to escape to the south.
The IDF said an airstrike had killed Mahmoud Yusuf Abu Alkhir, whom it identified as deputy head of military intelligence in Hamas’ Bureij Battalion.
It said he had taken part in "terrorist attacks against Israeli troops and the state".
Families of the remaining 20 or so surviving hostages have been imploring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the offensive and instead negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas to free their loved ones.
Israel Katz, Israel's defence minister, said on X, "If Hamas does not release the hostages and disarm, Gaza will be destroyed and turned into a monument to the rapists and murderers of Hamas."
