While heartbroken Palestinians were mourning the victims of Israel's recent airstrikes, the Israeli military said on Thursday that it had launched ground operations along the coast of northern Gaza.
A video released by China Global Television Network (CGTN) showed Palestinians in mourning during a ceremony for the victims of the deadly airstrikes, which killed hundreds in the embattled enclave following weeks of ceasefire.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began "targeted" ground operations in central Gaza, said an IDF spokesman in Arabic to the Strip's residents on Thursday.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a video statement that the evacuation of residents in the war zone will start again very soon.
According to local media, the Israeli military dropped evacuation leaflets over some regions in northern Gaza.
The death toll from the renewed Israeli military operation has been rising. At least 710 Palestinians have been killed and 900 others injured in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since Tuesday, according to Khalil al-Daqran, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

China Media Group (CMG) on Thursday convened a high-profile dialog in Moscow, bringing together guests to delve into the promising future of China-Russia cooperation.
The event is part of the Chinese state broadcaster's "China in Spring Time: Sharing Opportunities with the World" Global Dialog series.
Representatives from the political, academic, and media sectors of both countries engaged in discussions on topics such as China-Russia economic cooperation, scientific and technological innovation, cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and media collaboration.
The participants emphasized that China-Russia relations are an example of a new type of international relations and relations between neighboring countries and that cooperation and coordination between China and Russia contribute to global peace and stability, with all expressing confidence in the bright prospects for bilateral cooperation.
"I've learned a lot from this dialog, such as how my fellow Russian media workers collaborate with their Chinese partners and how this cooperation has advanced to reach a new level in both quality and quantity. Together with our Chinese counterparts, we are planning coverage for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War," said a Russian participant from the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, on the sidelines of the dialog.
During the event, the attendees also discussed topics such as China-Russia media cooperation driven by technological innovation and the global craze unleashed by China's animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2".
They jointly watched the overseas promotional video of "Ne Zha 2" and highlights from CMG's productions on China's development.
Major Russian media outlets, including the government-run Rossiskaya Gazeta, TV BRICS, and Greater Asia TV, covered the event.
