Israel has told residents in northern Gaza to evacuate ahead of intensified military action, as U.S. President Donald Trump says a ceasefire deal with Hamas is being negotiated.

Israel has ordered Palestinians to evacuate parts of northern Gaza as it prepares for intensified military operations. Residents in neighborhoods across Gaza City and Jabalia have been instructed to move south toward the coastal area of al-Mawasi, as Israeli forces expand their operations westward.

According to the Hamas-run health ministry, at least 86 people were killed in Israeli attacks in the hours leading up to midday Sunday, including three children.

The escalation comes as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to push for a ceasefire. In a post on Saturday, Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "right now" negotiating a deal with Hamas.

Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Avichay Adraee said the military is operating in northern Gaza to eliminate terrorists and destroy terrorist infrastructure.
