The Israeli army on Wednesday urged Gazans to evacuate what it called "combat areas" in the north and south of the Palestinian territory, after it resumed air strikes following a ceasefire breakdown.

In a post on X, military spokesman Avichay Adraee warned people in Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khuza'a and Abasan al-Jadida that "these areas are dangerous combat zones" and they should move to shelters in western Gaza City and Khan Yunis for their own safety.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels said the attack on the base in southern Israel “successfully achieved its objective,” although Israel says the missile was intercepted.

The Houthis say the strike was in response to Israel’s deadly bombardments of Gaza on Tuesday.

It's the third complaint against Israel filed at the U.N. Security Council by Syria's interim government, which took power late last year after ousting longtime President Bashar Assad. The complaint was submitted on March 3 but circulated Tuesday.

Israeli forces have seized territory in southern Syria and launched airstrikes on what Israel says are military sites in Syria, saying the operations aim to protect Israel's borders. Israeli officials have also said that they will not allow the new Syrian military south of Damascus, claiming that they aim to protect the Druze, a minority sect present in both Syria and Israel.

Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, saying it was hitting Hamas targets in its heaviest assault on the territory since a ceasefire took effect in January. The strikes have killed more than 400 people and wounded hundreds more, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which says over half the dead are women and children.

The Israeli attack could signal the full resumption of war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that all ceasefire negotiations will now take place "under fire."

A Syria war monitor said Israeli jets struck a military site in central Syria on Tuesday, the latest such attack in recent days.

According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, "Israeli air strikes targeted a missile battalion" near Homs city, reporting explosions in the area with no immediate word of casualties.

A spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group was killed in a wave of overnight Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip, a senior leader of the group told AFP.

The far-right Otzma Yehudit party, headed by firebrand politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, will rejoin the Israeli government, a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud movement said on Tuesday.

"Likud and Otzma Yehudit have agreed that the Otzma Yehudit faction will return to the Israeli government today, and the ministers of Otzma Yehudit will return to the government," said the statement, issued after the deadliest Israeli strikes on Gaza since a January ceasefire. Otzma Yehudit, meaning Jewish power, resigned in January in protest at the truce.

Israel will fight on in Gaza for "as long as the hostages are not returned", Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday after Israel resumed air strikes on the battered territory.

"We will not stop fighting as long as the hostages are not returned home and all our war aims are not achieved," Katz said. Apart from the release of the remaining hostages, Israel's other main war aim is to crush Hamas.

A Hamas official told AFP Tuesday that the group was "working with mediators to curb the aggression", after Israel unleashed its deadliest strikes since a ceasefire took effect in January.

"Hamas adhered to the ceasefire agreement and implemented it precisely, but the Israeli occupation reneged on its commitment and reversed it by resuming aggression and war," the official told AFP, adding that "Hamas and the resistance factions are in constant session to assess the situation and working with mediators to curb the aggression." So far, Hamas has not responded to the Israeli strikes.

Hamas on Tuesday named the head of its government in the Gaza Strip, Essam al-Dalis, among a list of officials it said were killed in a wave of Israeli strikes on the Palestinian territory.

"These leaders, along with their families, were martyred after being directly targeted by the Zionist occupation forces' aircraft," said the Hamas statement, which also named interior ministry head Mahmud Abu Watfa and Bahjat Abu Sultan, director-general of the internal security service, among those killed.
